here is a nice "late model" example with what I presume to be a 8v-71 and a single axle ( actually given the stated year (1979) i think it may be more likely to be the 4 stroke "fuel pincher" 8.5 or 8.2 I always forget because I heave never dealt with one )

I know these last two are not " Semi's" but I had to post this odd little 6-v53 powered bragadeer.

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.

It's a 13-Speed!! I missed counting the word "Low" in the Shift Pattern.

Low is 1, 1-4 makes it 5 and splitting the last 4 (8 More) gives it 13-Speeds Total.

My experience is with 10-Speed Road Rangers, 5 X 2 Duplexs and 5 X 4 Quadraplexs, but I never drove a 13-Speed, lol.

I think the ad just says V-8 Diesel, I forget that you could get about anything when I think of a GM v8 Diesel I think 8v ..... cat makes sense.

about the shift pattern.... did you miss "Lo" it is kinda hiding in the group with first and called out seperately ( just a guess as I have never driven one of these and they might ALL be that way, I was just confused when I looked at the pictures too )

I see you found out while I was making my poorly worded reply .

WOA! If that truck is headed to PA that could be my Dad's '67 Impala on the front. Sure as heck looks like its Royal Plum to me.

If no one answers, I would be willing to take a stab at it. I see one or two tell-tale signs, but I am not really good with these type of trucks.

OK, between the "GMC" letters and the Front Bumper my best guess would be a '66, '67 or a '68, the last year of them made, the way I understand it.
