I drove quite a few of those GMC and Chevys in my car hauling days. Had one very similar to the one in Smokey and the Bandit. I believe that was a Complete Carriers with a Delavan trailer. They were owned by Ryder like M&G Convoy who I worked for. We referred to them as "Bubble Nose" tractors. Non turbo 671s with 10 speed Roadrangers and a few with Air 2 speed rears. The fiber optics were the letters over the ignition, lights, wipers,etc. I had a few that worked good. I have a tach and a gauge or two from them.
