Obviously you knew it was a 350 - sorry I didn't give that as a clue for you engine guru's -

Thanks for the answer - thought I would give you an easy one for a Sunday morning - if you didn't go to bed so early back east, you could have had an easy one to go to sleep on. Also, thanks for the alternative answer - I can always count on you giving more than one expects - have a good day

Let me see - is GMT +10 is the same as Eastern Daylight Savings Time which is the same as GMT + 8 which is Rocky Mountain Daylight Savings time here. The GMT is necessary for our Int'l web browsers; however, a pain in the #$%*@( for us US folks - kind of like metric. By the way on the boots, with a 15 why don't you just buy the little misses (presuming there is such) a couple of pair of shoes and you just wear the boxes!!

Back at ya later,

I also have a question on a number. Culd be somebody can figure it out for me? V0320TKA. I'm sure it is a truck engine. The other number on the pad is: T85519619?

Thanks for any ID info!!

Here is how my world figures GMT
NY is east coast usa and that is GMT -5.00 hours.

GMT +10 would be australia, vlidivostok rushka, or guam.

If yo are posting at some odd hour (4AM for instance) then GMT is 9AM (GMT - 5 hours = your time, or your time +5 hours = GMT)

if you can figure this out, you'll know where in the world it is 5 pm so you'll know it is beer time somewhere all the time. and if you dring enough beer, you won't care.

Where are you getting these codes at? So far, the only one I know of is by the transmission and that is 3970010.

Slowpoke, the number V0320TKA what i came up with is: V--- Flnt 0320 march 20th and TKA 350 and was used in C-10 and 1500 trucks

Ok, I've got one: V0130TXD. Also, has anyone heard of Power-Pak rebuilt engines? I've got their tag riveted to the side of my engine near the oil filter.

Dang, that means my numbers don't match. No, I haven't owned the truck for nearly 30 years as I am only 18. I have owned it for 1.5 years. I bought it for 850 from the Jewish Charity Auction/Wrecking yard. I guess its good that the engine was originally built for a 3/4 or 1 ton because that means it should have the good stuff inside like a forged crank and the beefier rods. I think it may be the high nickle casting, but I haven't had any reason to pull the timing gears yet. As for the PowerPak, it is the company that rebuilt it. They rivited a tag on the side of the engine near the oil filter saying: Rebuilt PowerPak Stock number... I just wanted to know if anybody has heard anything about that company.

Oh, it's definatly a 4-bolt main, I had to pull the oil pan because it was leaking onto my headers and making big smoke. I think the crank is forged, the casting numbers were on the other side and I didn't feel like turning the engine over, there were the lines as if it had been hammer forged. And the rods had an X cast into the end of them.

Hey slowpoke: Ya should have posted this question on a new thread, thereby you'd get an answer from more people. I only answered because I saw Ronnie's name on the post and I always have to help out the "youngin"... :LOL:

TKA: 8-350 4BC..165 HP "L" in the VIN. (OPT LS-9)
'78 ½ ton 4x2 GMC/Chev. Trk. Federal, M.T.
also '76 GMC 1500 painted Chevy Blue..
Do a search on the LS-9 and it will give ya more specifics about it...

the 19619 should be the last 5 digits in your VIN! That is how GM determines a "Correct" car, and if you change the engine and it doesn't match the VIN then you lose value on a Classic or Antique vehicle..

Streets..:HMMM:
