engine decoding, need help!
I bought a 1979 with what is supposed to be 65,000 original miles on it and after cleaning off the stamp behind the alternator I've come up with the following numbers and codes. T4B506282 and below that is K II 05 TKY. Due to old paint and old eye's the 2nd digit (4) may be an A, and the 3rd digit (B) may be an 8. I would really appreciate any help because I've looked on many web sites and cant find anything close to these numbers.

Looks like your 65000 original miles just became unoriginal. WTF are 'original' miles anyway?
K II 05 TKY is K1105TKY.
K means an engine assembled at the McKinnon Industries plant in St. Catherines Ontario Canada
1105 is assembly date of November 5th.
TKY is a 1974 350cu in 160HP 4bbl installed in a C-20 to 3500 series truck
