Ddey65 ◊ 2012-09-01 15:45	Medium-duty truck from the mid-1960's(5000 or 6000 or something like that). I'm pretty sure they didn't use C/K designations back then, unlike Chevy. -- Last edit: 2012-09-01 18:33:07

BW is B-Series stub-nose conventional with a tandem. LW is L-Model Steel Tilt Cab with a tandem. W5000 is GMC 5000 medium-duty with a tandem. WV5500 is GMC 5500 medium-duty with a tandem with vacuum brakes. WA5500 is GMC 5500 medium-duty with a tandem with air brakes. Link to "www.ebay.com" This looks like a pretty heavy truck. An air horn would be a sign that it has air brakes, but I don’t see an air horn. -- Last edit: 2012-12-11 20:33:00
