Going to look at a 1979 White Semi tractor tomorrow. It"s a Cummins turbo diesel w/6spd. tranny. The guy that has it doesn"t know much about it and I"m trying to get some info on what model engine it is before I go look at it. 1979 is too early for a 8.3L/505 cu. in. Cummins from what I know. The only info he gave me on the engine was F230 that was on the tag in the door jam. Anyone know what model it may be?
Also, what tranny is likely in this thing? It has the old school cast centers too with what looks like split rims on the front. Can you mount up non-split rims on those centers too?

My plan is to extend the frame and put a 22-24ft. flat bed on the old girl.
