I don't think the half tons were available with the big block. The 400 small block was the biggest gas engine available in a half ton.

454 was available in C10-20-30 73-79

C20 and C30 in 1980

C20 and C30 1981-87;also K30 1981-87

The K30 had a special pan to clear the Dana 60 properly

At least this is what I remember in Canada

We ordered one of the first 81 K30s with a factory 454 for a tow truck
