Another question for Bob or anyone else who would know. Somewhere around the late'70's to mid '80's you could get a GMC 7500 with a 6V-53 Detroit and a Road Ranger Trans, but only in a Tandem Axle truck for some reason. It seems like the Single Axle trucks could only get a 5-Speed and 2-Speed Rear at best. Wondering why this was and could you Special Order a Single Axle with a Road Ranger back then?
