Er, what? VIN Confusion

I finally looked up my vin info tonight, and this is what came back:

TCY144Z510016

T=GMC
C=2wd
Y=V8 454 4bbl -wait, what? There's a 350 in there!
1=1/2 ton
4=pickup
4=1974
Z=Fremont plant
510016=serial #

Ok, what the heck with the motor? I believe everything else, but... um...

All correct but the Y is a 350. Z would be for 454..

Re: Er, what? VIN Confusion

On the subject of wierd codes....

My engine block has a TDS code on it, on the front pad behind the alternator. There isn't a tds code anywhere I can find, and i know for a fact the engine is original. 1978 c20 350sb/th400.

Nobody knows... maybe one of you guys do.

PS.. there is a TSD code, and that's not what I have.
