Interesting truck as it is the first time that I ever saw the "Fireman's Hat" type of Cab Lights on a GMC truck of this style.

I would say that the engine in there is actually a 3208 Cat and the ad is incorrect. It seems like the 8.2 wasn't out till 1980 and I'm not even sure they ever put a 8.2 in one. They started putting 3208's in those trucks more and more in the later years.

....unless someone put a 8.2 in there??

Also puzzled on the Trans. The ad says 10-Speed and at first glance I saw a 13-Speed, but when I looked closer, I could only count 12??

...I'll have to check on that one.
