Well I knew real quick I didn't want anything to do with it. It's not nearly as clean as it looks in the pictures and it would be a complete PITA to work on. It is a big 6 and half the engine is under the floor boards. The tranny sticks about a foot out the back of the cab. The dog house takes up half the cab and even if you tore that out half the ridiculously stupid dash is 16" over that. You'd have to tear half the cab apart to replace a head gasket. I really don't know why anyone would want a conventional like this when you would just be better off with a cab over. All the POS was is a cab over you can't work on anyways and have no place to even set a lunch box in the cab.
I still don't know what kind of motor it was though so I took a few pics. It looks like it has unit injectors like a Detroit Diesel???
Thanks for all the input guys. I'm really thinking now that I'm just going to have to get something smaller I can work on more myself. And whoever said to buy an old fleet maintained vehicle is probably right too. This thing looked like it was an old independent excavator company truck so who knows how it was taken care of.
