[Terry Neal]

Right you are John. My email was referring to my "74FC34" which is a
Forward Control that was converted from the gas V8 to a Detroit
6V53Turbo diesel. Tight fit but it works well. Best speed is right at
64 mph & 6.8 mpg. They also added straight through exhausts from the
engine out the back & through the rear bumper. Sounds nice.
