It really depends on the truck if its a C65 or C70 or something along the lines of a 2 1/2 ton its very possible its a 8.2L V8 4 cycle, early Kodiak trucks used a Cat 3208 V8. The Brigadier, Astro, Bison and General had mostly Cummins but a lot had a 6v71,6v92, 8v71 and 8v92 series 2-cycle sometimes a 6v53 for smaller applications and an inline 6-71 was mainly offroad applications after the late 60's. For the most part truck application 2-cycles were V engines like the 6v53 6v71 8v71 6v92 8v92 and a more rare truck engine was the 12v71. All are fine engines for high speed pulling but not that great for low end grunt their power band is all top end so you have to run them hard to keep them in good running condition. A great low end Detroit which came out in 1987 by GM and now owned by Daimler Corp is the 60 series 4 cycle and the 50 series which is NLA but the 60 series is still available. And for those of you too young to understand Detroit it was all created by GM from their Locomotive power division EMD and then later on sold to The Penski Corp in 88 and then the Daimler Chysler corp/MTU. The Detroit Diesel name came about by GM in the early 60's when they consolidated it, prior to that they were known as just GM diesel division of General Motors. This was all probable more than you wanted to know but I felt like clearing up some common mistakes people make about Detroit Diesel. Oh and you Cummins fans I dont even want to hear how Cummins are better all brands have some good ones and bad ones and you guys know that as well so dont even start.

In the middle 70s, I did see a few 6V71 engines in a few medium duty trucks.

Yes a 8.2 is a V-8, an inline engine would be a 2-stroke, Detroit did make 2-stroke V-6's, V-8's and bigger but your not gonna find them in a medium duty truck. The 8.2 was by far the most common diesel in a medium duty GM product.
