GMC didn't change styling much if at all to determine model years on their trucks. I'll assume that truck is too new to still have a Big Block V-6, and that's too bad. If it has an in-line 6, I hope for your sake it's a 292, the 250 was also available. My guess with the 5+2 trans it may have a 327 if it's old enough, most likely a 350 truck engine, and slim chance it has a 366 big block truck engine.
From posts on other forums I hope it has the 350. So many 350's were built parts are still available. 366 parts just don't exist anymore.
Summer of 1982 I helped my buddy harvest potatoes, drove truck hauling in. Had a pair of '66 or '67 C65's, one with 292-6 and 5+2, other had 350 & 5+2, and a Ford 750 with 6V-53 Detroit diesel and 5+2. The 350 powered truck was fastest loaded on the road, and O-K to load, and burned the most gas in a day. The 292 powered truck was second fastest loaded, by far easiest to match speed with the tractor powered harvester. The Ford was just a noisey nasty truck to drive. No skipping gears when loaded, could run thru transmission in low side of axle then shift to high when in 5th. Could run 2-3 days on a tank of fuel.
Township road commissioner I worked for had a '67 and '74 C-65's, both 366 & 5+2's. '67 geared to run about 58 mph, the '74 geared to run about 67 mph. I was the only driver the second year I worked there, the '74 was brand new that year. Put a lot of miles on that truck. Couple years later the township bought a second dump truck, a C70 tandem with 427 & 5+2. Never even got to sit in that truck.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
