My boss let me order a new Fuel truck in 1979. I ordered a L800 with a 534 engine. Our local (brain) mechanic said what was wrong with them was everybody ordered them with the same axle ratio as a 429. Gov at 4200. We ordered this one with the same gears as a 3208 Cat. gov at 3200, the same as the 534. Can't remember exact ratio. but about 5.80 . Later got a 466 250 hp IHC. wouldn't climb the hill South of town any faster. Drove that truck for 20 years. Before that got new one ever 4 to 5 years. But they was Chevy's Vic
