[Tyler94w]

Hi everybody just got my first square body and was looking up some info and run across this site seemed great so I joined. I was wondering was a 350 a option on c10,k10 from 81 to 86 I read somewhere that unless a half ton was purchased in California or Canada the only engine options was a 6 cylinder or a 305 hope someone could shine some light on that Thanks

In 1982, it looks like the 350 was available only on 20-30 models, except in California where it was also available on K10.

Check out pages 13-18 on this document from GM Heritage Center This was only for 1982. Things may have been different in other years.
