Re: GM Semis
Interesting truck. A Chevrolet Extended Hood (Long Nose). They are pretty rare. This one looks like it's somewhere between '73 and '76. West Coast type truck with the Budd Wheels. Most likely will have an 8V-71 with a 13-Speed Road Ranger.

Re: GM Semis
She indeed has a road ranger and is an 8V ...I doubt it is a 92 and I am not sure they made a 53 so I would guess an 8v-71. Auction site had it listed as a '74
You can just see a discharge nozzle behind the tank, that is a large cetrifugal pump (looks like a turbo)....both axles are driven. |

Re: GM Semis
They actually made an 8V-53, but they were mostly for Marine. One would have not been available in the above truck.

Re: GM Semis
That auction price was a steal. Who ever bought it got a great deal. I would have paid $750 in a heart beat. A great truck to restore.

Re: GM Semis
That pump behind the tank is most likely a exhaust driven pump for a type of powder such as cement carryed in a bulk tank.

Re: GM Semis
Spanners!, tell me what you know about your truck. Do you still have the ID plate? I would love to know what series and what year that is. it kind of reminds me of mine. Also yours is sporting 6 lug wheels, and in my experience GMC's ran a proprietary 5 lug pattern, what engine/transmission combo do you have ? and I am assuming you are running Air brakes ? nice looking rig at any rate.
