    That truck was built by White before they became White/GMC and probably before Volvo built a North American truck.
    You need to identify each component , engine serial number, trans and rears should be tagged..
    FYI White/GMC created the intergal sleeper in about 84-85, that was the beginning of lots of changes in truck designs.

    They were required starting in 1980 so you need to find the build date for your truck. Might have been built in 79.

    You know your old when 1980 doesn't seem that old.
