[quote name='ffdrive' post='181818' date='Jan 20 2008, 16:00 ']Back in the 70's, it was popular to have the big detroits put in Ford C's in Canada...Toronto, Ajax, Missisauga, London etc all had them.....It made them stand very high...and ya gotta love the sound of those old detroits.....there are a bunch posted in different places here.....[/quote]



Do you know specifically what engines those above rigs had in them, 6V-53, 6-71, 8V-71, etc? I know the 6V-53 was generally VERY popular in and around where I'm from. But all Ford C-series in this region were either CAT 3208, V-8 gas, 8.2L, plus a few with Dorset diesels and Cummins NT-185(?). I noticed the St. Paul rig had a 300 HP diesel in it as well.



Thanks.
