Not really. The TYC is the engine usage code, but the codes that start with a "T" are usually a truck engine. As for the other, are the last six of you VIN 105715? I would have to bet not.

Just looked up the TYC code. It was used twice, once in '75 and again in '78.

In '75 it was for a 350ci/145hp 2-v carb in a C-10 and 1500 truck.
In '78 it was for a 350ci/165hp 4-v carb in a C-20 to 3500 truck.
