Cool rig! I've never even heard of that engine before...anyone have any more info on it? The guy said it's a 4-stroke, so no Screamin' Jimmy there...I didn't know GM/Detroit was even building 4 stroke engines at that time...

That engine is the "Toro-Flow" V6 diesel that GMC had available in the sixties. It is the 478 cid V6 converted to diesel and it did not earn a very good reputation. It came in 351 and 478 cubic inch sizes as a V6 or you could get one in a 637 cubic inch V8. All of these were derived from gas engines of the same size.
If you want more info on the GMC truck engines of the sixties, including the super cool 702 cid V12, have a look at this website - http://www.6066gmcguy.org/. Lots of great info on the unique GMC offerings of the day.

Interesting, that's for sure...I wonder what sort of fuel economy it gets?
