Oh yeah, I forgot about that one. Thanks to you guys I had this written down:
T0426TKB. T stands for Tonawanda plant, and 0426 is for April 26th. The TKB suffix code means 71-72 truck L47, with a 400 transmission.

Okay I give, how come the back of my block reads April 13, 71 and my suffix reads April 26, 71 I'd look but she's well protected right now.

With assys, the guide accts for 1000s details such as OEM identifications& part numbers, written in short order. 700+ images include assm, illust., charts, and points of interest. Much of the info. applies to all 67-72 GM trucks, and to a lessor degree all 67-72 GM vehicles. My build thread, and more on the guide https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=730025
