1969 C10 - Retirement Project - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

CWO4-USN · 03-22-2010, 10:31 AM

Recently brought a 69 C10. Will post pictures soon. Looking forward to
gathering knowledge/know-how from the members on this fine site.
As always, got a question: My engine numbers are TIII2GF. Could
anyone identify what type of engine this is? I've looked at the links
provided, but i'm unable to break it out.

As promised, initial pictures.

I cant help with the numbers but that will be a fun truck .

Welcome! Looks pretty solid! What are your plans for it?

CWO4-USN · 03-23-2010, 07:34 AM

Thanks guys. Nothing major as far as plans. Want to make it a daily driver.
Current "TO DO" list include:

Replace master cylinder - Done.
Replace brake hoses - Done
Replace wheel cylinders - Done.
Install booster for power brakes - Pending
Install power steering - Pending

Due to the job I'm only able to work on it on the weekends, but so
far I'm enjoying it. I know I'll have a different story once I get to the
body work! Looking to find a good parts truck to help offset the price
of all the body parts that I'll need if possible.

Can you check the casting date code? Code GF can apply to three different years. Anyway here is the break down of T1112GF.

T= Tonawanda Engine Plant
11= Month of manufacture= November
12= Day of manufacture= November 12
GF= One of the following engines: 1955 265 cid, 1957 283 cid, or 1965 283 cid

Good luck on your project!

what body work? patina is popular... do a search for "shop trucks" and you'll see... congrats on the retirement...

I'd put a "Property of US Navy" shop logo on the door, lower it a little with nice tires and rims then cruise in it...

Original engine could have been an I-6 250 or 292, or V8 307, 350, 396 (big block)

CWO4-USN · 03-23-2010, 08:29 AM

Thanks guys, believe that it's a 283. Will try to get the block codes this weekend. And yes, it will be patina for a while. And USN will definitely be somewhere on the body, might even put a hull number on if posible..
