Regarding the original question, my 1942 Army truck manual says .010 intake, .020 exhaust. Same engine as the civilian 216.

Pope....
The specs for the valve adjustment are looser for big trucks for most years although the components appear the same. It must be because of the truck's propensity to overheat under load.

Maybe GM just figured truckers wouldn't be so sensitive to a little more noise.

I did not know Mike very well, we exchanged some messages from time to time but from what I understand he was a very good man. I was sad to learn about this
