Re: 1950 L170 in NE

A lot of medium trucks have the O/D both my K's do. I wonder if that engine is original as to my knowledge the low mount was special to the cabover trucks. The later BD's and the earlier BLD's all have the distributor over the valvecover.
IIRC the one down low turns backwards from the others. They weren't made very long, and it is possible in the 1st few years they placed them all low down, but I would expect if that were the case we would see more of them. I think two people who have posted on this site have them. One guy somewhere in AZ and Dan C.
Just odd in a truck that isn't a cabover model.
