International Cummins

I saw a truck today in Heath, Ohio. It was a bright red, 50's (or so) International riding on nice chrome wheels. It caught my eye just because of this. When he went past me, I noticed the stack in the bed and could hear a Cummins. I thought there was no way that he had a cummins in it, but after I followed him for a while I was sure it did. It definitely sounded like a 12 valve, but I couldn't tell if it was rotory or p-pumped. He pulled into target and I lost him after he got out of it so i didn't get to talk to him. It was a very nice truck. Anyone else ever see it?

Did it have a flatbed?

No, it was a regular pickup bed. Looked just like a hot rod with a sbc until I heard it and saw the stack.

Not what I saw then. When I lived in cbus all of 4 months ago I always saw a red-orange older truck with a cummins badge on it around campus, and a black flatbed. Heck I even saw it all the time at the parking lot at Honda R&D when I worked there.
