The numbers won't be 33xxx as that series was allocated to boxcars, but
83xxx is correct. Depending on the year you are modelling, the following
were fitted with removable roofs
83105-83129 GM-4C (some)
83140-83149 GM-4B
83150-83249 GM-4D
83250-83299 GM-4F
83300-83399 GM-6
There are photos on page 90 of Mike Spoor's CB&Q Equipment Color Guide, and
on page 29 of his book
CB&Q In Color Volume 2.
Hope this helps
Rupert
