We have two of these trucks in our fire department. One, an 87, and the other a 78. They are the same except for the 4th and 5th split. One of them, when full of water, has to be shifted 4-L 4-H 5-L 5-H. The other one has to go 4-L 5-L 4-H 5-H. I know it's not normal, but the sticker on the roof has it that way. I usually stay in low until I get to 4-L, then I go 4-H and 5-H. Unloaded I stay in hi range. Both of these trucks have a 366 gas engine, one is a C65 and the other is a C70, don't remember which is which as they are almost identical in appearance.
As a side note, the 78 model has 13,000 actual miles on it. No telling how many hours pumping water though. It was bought new by our department. We carried it in to the Chevy dealer for it's 12,000 mile checkup (as recommended in the owner's manual) and while the guys there had a good laugh, they did do a few things for us, got it detailed and it looked pretty good. It's a pretty solid old truck.
