Several years back I bought a '67 GMC V5500, v6/4spd/2spd, It was a former moving van, converted into a potato hauler. It was well used and had been sitting for years, bought it, put a battery in it, turned the key and it started instantly, quiet, no smoke, no rattles, I drove it for several years, with absolutely no trouble, loaned it to a friend who wanted to use it for his construction business, said he had a CDL driver for it, after about a year I asked for the truck back and was told it quit running, It seems the CDL driver heard it start knocking and smoking and found the oil dip stick "to be too short to reach the oil"
