There was a 400, 450, & 470. 520-650 series, had the hoods like you describe. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 1,186 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 1,186 | This is a 660. Does it look like this ?

It does not look like 660 series,this truck is not a Cabover,IT appears to be a large Rig as it has Air brakes.
I will be there today ad will take some pictures. along with some others. The whole yard will be crushed out. As scrap metal is high,

OOPS! I just noticed the year! Those big inline 6's were used in the road tractors in the late 40's and early 50's. My uncle owned one that he used towing the big boats he repaired, with a lowboy trailer. Nothing much will interchange between them and the 216/235 engines.
