I have some diesel engine availability questions. 1. When was the first Detroit Diesel manufactured? 2. What is the first year GMC offered a diesel engine? 3. What is the first year Chevrolet offered a diesel engine? 4. What is the first year GMC offered a Detroit V-8 diesel and what size was it? 5. What is the first year Chevrolet offered a Detroit V-8 Diesel and what size (cubic inches) was it? If someone can answer these questions, it would save me a lot of research time. Yesterday I was told that Chevrolet offered diesel engines in the thirties. My feelings; No Way! Tell me the guy was talking through his hat.
