This is a Chevy with a tilt fiberglass front and the cab says 7100. This looks very similar to my 76 C60 inside and out - except for the tilt hood.
Not sure of the year, and he was not sure either - maybe 1980? He is looking for the title and agreed if this cannot be found, he will apply for a lost title.
What I do know ----
It does have the 20" split rim wheels but more lugs (I did not count, but maybe 12 lugs?). The rear lugs have the square head stud.
6 speed trans.
Detroit 4-71T maybe??.
It is a 4 cylinder Detroit (Detroit is stamped on the valve cover) diesel with a turbo feeding a roots blower.
Hydraulic brakes.
The GVW tag says 24,000 lbs.
I am not finding with my searches where a 7100 exists.

So I went back and took pics.
I did not really get things right the first time.
I don't know why…. but...
Inside the cab, it says manufactured during the 1979 calendar year.
VIN (if I read correctly) indicates 1980.
The truck is not a Chevy. It is a GMC.
The truck is not a 7100. It is a 7000.
The wheels do not have more lugs. there are 10 - front and rear.
The truck does not have a 6 speed trans. It has a 5 speed.
The truck does not have a Detroit 4-71T. It has a Detroit 4-53T.
Now the challenge - freeing the rear brakes.
Any recommendations for making this happen?
