D80UVHJ9038

D80 = C800 diesel (Badged and referred to as "C8000")

U = Cat 3208N OR 3208T 636 CID V8 diesel

V = Kentucky Truck Plant

HJ9038 = 1980 model year numerical series.

Axle, transmission and other info are on your certification label. That's a white plastic label glued to the door face below the latch, if it's still there......
