Both are Indian Bronze Metallic. Both 350 4 speeds. Both have a tilt column. I looked at both at different times before I bought an 84 short 2wd in the same color. 305 and turbo 350. Maybe it’s a regional thing. Both sold originally in Victoria. |

Re: Help me on engine code
You may be right on the regional thing.
Usually the SM465 were Custom Deluxe 8' bed work trucks in this area with no extra expenses like tilt steering. My 85 custom deluxe had a V8 engine and heavier foam in the bench seat. Everything else was base options. I added delay wipers after I bought it.

Re: Help me on engine code
Here's an old picture of the interior, the tilt is there, but kinda hard to see. I've traced the truck back to the dealership that sold it new. The guy I bought it from got it from the original owner, then the truck was stolen out of his driveway and recovered a short time later. The thieves brush painted it brown and hid it in the woods, but the patrol helicopter had no trouble spotting it. After getting his truck back, the second owner was bummed about the paint damage and sold it to me. I agree the VIN stamp on the engine was probably done at a machine shop or dealership. I'll send for the build sheet and post the results. It's not pretty, but I like the old truck and am having seller's remorse even before I have it sold. I may take it down to the farm and put it in long term storage?

Re: Help me on engine code
If you happen to be passing by a GM dealer, take your VIN to them. I had mine print off a sheet with all the RPO codes and descriptions for most of them. No need to wait for something to be mailed/emailed.

Re: Help me on engine code
Looks like a fairly well optioned Silverado trim level truck with a manual trans that somebody stuck an old vinyl seat in.

Re: Help me on engine code
It's a well optioned factory black/silver K30 454 silverado. I put the old style seat in because they are firmer and sit better than the 81? on up. I sent an e mail for the build sheet, but will also try the local GM dealer.

Re: Help me on engine code
Betcha the GM dealer can get one for you.
GM Heritage can if you strike out at the dealer.

Re: Help me on engine code
The vin wouldn't come up at the local chevy dealer, he even tried to find a previous service report, nothing there either. I've looked it over, no evidence of it ever having an automatic trans, I'm convinced it's always been a 4 speed. Thanks!
