Detroit Diesel, far as I know.

What make built the "Fuel Squeezer?"

The "Fuel Squeezer was a Detroit "V" engine that came in 6 cyl and 8 cyl models. They were popular in buses. They didn't make a whole lot of power, but ran forever and were easy to work on.

Kinda, actually a power stroke every other stroke, instead of every 4 strokes. If they backfired , they would run backwards very easily; exhaust out the air cleaner & suck up and burn engine oil. That was always fun!

Bittersweet for the widow - seeing her husbands truck running and driving off eventually .
