Thanks for those vids Bill, I came across th0se before and had forgotten, Love them.
if anyone wants to duplicate that there are several tandem axle detroit powered unit currently on the "Truck Papers" for sale site. though they are lively 6-71 powered.

greywuuf · 02-13-2013, 03:31 PM

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 )

a description and price are here http://www.truckpaper.com/listingsde...x?OHID=4133625

greywuuf · 02-13-2013, 03:43 PM

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.

greywuuf · 02-13-2013, 06:01 PM

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.
