Can someone ID if this was a Corvette small block starter or off of something else? I just replaced this one with a correctly dated one.

I can tell you that there is no such thing as a Corvette starter. They used the same ones any other small block or BB used.

Using Google it seems 483 starters was used in white/GMC trucks

I think you'll find that this starter has been through a rebuilder or two, and parts from different starters combined. So, no, it's not really a "Corvette" starter now.
