I was part owner of a towing/truck repair business where we ran 2 Internationals with the DT 466, 1 automatic, 1 six speed. These trucks had over 200,000 miles on em when we got them. Both proved to be rugged and dependable, plus got over 12 miles per gallon of fuel. 2 Chevy C-60's with a Caterpillar six, one automatic one six speed. These were 100,000 mile trucks when we got em. The only thing bad about either one was their thirst-5 mpg was good as it got. A '79 GMC 454 gas 5 speed/2 speed rear. Good ole truck, bought cheap, and at 5 or 6 mpg less expensive to operate than the Cats. Be aware that any commercial vehicle over 10,001 pounds to 29,999 pounds may not require a CDL but will require the operater to carry a DOT medical certificate.
