We just bought a bunch of Freightliner M2-112's. The trucks are spec'ed out basically the same as a 33,000# GVW model, but have smaller tires to limit them to 26,000#'s. That way anyone can drive them, but they are more durable than a regular 26,000# truck.

Back to the truck in question, the V-series Cummins were in GM trucks for a number of years, though not too common. Probably most often seen in Fords, but I saw a few in Dodge heavies. Funny thing about those Cummins V-8's (there was a V-6 version too) was that Cummins tried to sue GM over the Toro-Flow because of them:
