Definitely a 400ci. the three below are from looking up the engine suffix code (TLS) at this site:
http://www.nastyz28.com/sbchevy/spcode8.html
1975 TLS 400 conv.cab U LF4 175hp 4bbl K-10 to 2500
1977 TLS 400 conv.cab R LF4 175hp 4bbl K-10 to 2500
1979 TLS 400 con. cab, a/t, Cal R LF4 170hp 4bbl K-10 to 2500
I don't know if the other number is a VIN. Check for other numbers at the back of the block. I'm sure someone else here can narrow it down further.
