The truck is a 5 speed w/ a 2-speed axle.
Air brakes.... When you throw a rod through the block, you loose air for the brakes. I had no alternative brakes ( no jake brake, or elec. drive shaft brakes.).... On the steep grade, I was using the air supply to keep at 25mph, and a sudden loss of pressure to replenish the air tank.....bad things happen!!
Whatever the engine was in that thing...... It's been a long time...
Whatever factory diesel was in that Chevy C-70 ( A 4-53T ? ) .... I believe it was a 6. liter- something...
I was towed to a Detroit Diesel shop in N. Vancouver, Canada.
