Vin #

According to my vin # which starts out TKY145
T means GMC
K means 4x4
Y means 454 4BBL
1 means 1/2 ton
4 means pickup
5 means 1975


I didn't know a 454 was available in a 1/2 ton shortbed.    Does anyone know if the 454 was available for my truck?

Y in 1975 is a 350

yep, it was the 350...but yea, a 454 was available in a 1/2 ton shortbed up until 1979...

454's were never offered in 4x4's, only in 4x2's until 1979.

Thanks for the help.   That probably means I still have the original block.
