If you mean a truck that looks like THIS ONE probably nothing. If it looks like a pickup the cab is the same but it is likely not a model 750.

Might be a Holmes wrecker model 750, not a Chevy truck model number?

GMC made a 750 series - they are big trucks, so pretty much nothing would fit if that's the case.

A 750 GMC would either have a 503 gas or a 4-71 Diesel. I don't anything would fit a pickup.

Read the picture posting policy you will need to post them somewhere else like photobucket and then you can link to them here.

Looks like it might have been a fire truck which would mean gas and hydraulic brakes.

WOW !, Neat truck. Yep that's a Heavy Duty Line GMC 750 series, which would be rated as about a 6 1/2 ton truck. GMC called the 700 thru 900 series,trucks "Big Cab" Heavies. The 520-650 series GMC Heavy Duty Trucks used the same cab as the Light, & medium duty trucks, & were "Little Cab" Heavies. Pretty much nothing, cab wise will interchange on one of these with a pickup, except the dome light. That one is a gas burner. If diesel it would have the "Diesel" emblem between the "GMC", & "750" emblems. Looks to have a shop built tow unit on the back. This would basicly be a shop built tow truck, & not a Wrecker. That would be a great truck to have, if not too expensive. You don't see these "Big Cab" Jimmies too often. I hate it, when I'm so politically correct.
