When James A. Ryder was kicked out of the Ryder (Family) Rental Truck business, he returned to the market himself as JARTran. Fleet was mostly Cube Vans and the majority of those were on Dodge chassis. There were three odd problems:
1. They weren't air conditioned, and for some reason that belt configuration liked to sling a belt. V-Belt and when one came off it kicked the rest off too
2. Pregnant Mufflers. Clogged up with rust flakes and cut exhaust flow to where the truck could barely move.
3. Inordinate number of them had Engine Fires. These traced to leaking ThermoQuads. For that reason, I'd advise finding something else that would fit and work.
I've had Carter AFB on a Chevy Impala, and a derivative called Weber on the Chevy engine in our boat. So for me, the AFB successors like Performer would be one of my first looks. Runs well and less risky. That, and less hunting in vintage stuff for parts...
