If this was repowered with a 2-cycle Detroit, the floor would have to be modified to accept the height of the diesel, with a noticeable hump as a result. Some Canadian C-Series Fords had Detroit Diesels in them but the cabs had to be raised to accept them, giving them the appearance of a 4X4. Still would be very interesting to see a Ford C-Series with a screaming Detroit in it.
