I think GMC used several different tranmissions from Clark w/OD and straight drive and New Process if I'm thinking correctly.
So, it may or may not be.

Most of the ones that I have seen were the larger 1 1/2 inch dia shafts and will only work with the medium to heavy truck bell housings with the 13 inch clutch. | | |
