1964 C10 Engine Suffix - INFO NEEDED
I bought a 1964 C10 custom over the weekend. The engine looks like it has never been out of the truck.
It is a V8 and has this on the front engine pad. F05IIM Can anyone help with telling me what it is? I can't get to the back of the motor to get the casting number. Thanks Zach

Look here. 1958 283 built on may 11th in Flint.
You'll need the casting number. Use a mirror if it's hard to see. |

Re: 1964 C10 Engine Suffix - INFO NEEDED
Per the chart in the LMC catalog, a 64 V8 would be a 283 and the only engine id codes used on the 283 in 1964 were M, MA, MX, MY.
Looks like you don't have an original V8 The F is for Flint MI. IM was used on 1969 350 Chevy/powerglide taxi. Not sure where IIM comes from. |

Check also for a date/clock marking on the block. I think the V8 have them on there just like the I6s. Should give you the month/year the block was cast.

Re: 1964 C10 Engine Suffix - INFO NEEDED
I think you mean F0511M, not F05IIM. Its a Flint block made in May 11 with the engine suffix "M" which was a 64 283 v8. So it is probably the correct engine for your truck. You will need the casting #. As F0511M is the engine code stamping #.

M would be the correct suffix for 1964. I think I'm corrected! |

The engine suffix is usually 2-3 letters and sometimes a number.
