Looks super original and in great shape. Engine looks to be factory installed in 1968, really unusual to see, most were replaced during service life. The natural aspirated engine is very reliable and has plenty of power. Leaves a nice smoke trail. Fifth wheel is not original.
I was always highly suspicious that nobody at Ft Puke knew how to properly overhaul a 7155. I still have one in the crate and my 916 has one that seems to be ok.
The 1920's design 230, at maybe 100 horsepower on a good day, is just able to move the truck around by itself, add max payload or loaded trailers it becomes slower to a point of being a road hazard.
