Found this low milage (113K), 1978 Chevy Titan 90 "Special Series, Road Tractor in my driveway Friday morning. It has a 8V92 Detroit diesel engine, with an Allison automatic transmission.

A nice little toy, the biggest problem is putting it in your hip pocket to sneak it past the boss (wife). Tony
