If anyone is interested here is the history of the Chinook.
Chinook models
The early Class B's (1970's) were pretty innovating for the time. I think they made Class B's up into the 90's.
Because of the placement of the engine, and housed in a doghouse, I think an older diesel would be very loud.

Chinook has reemerged with 2016 Class B models. Looks like in name only though.
