This also comes up :

TJW   1980   350   conv. cab, a/t   M LT9   -   4   C-20 to 3500

V= Engine Build Plant ...(Flint Engine)
0814=  Aug 14th ..
TJW= 1980..350..conv. cab, a/t, Vin code M, LT9   -   4bbl..C-20 to 3500 truck

GAB101204  is the last 9 numbers of the vin for the vehicle the engine was originally installed in ...

"G" is a check digit ..... "A" indicates 1980 production..."B" indicates Baltimore, Maryland assembly plant ..( Prior to 1981) ....101204 is the sequential unit number at that plant for that year .....


Hope this helps .....
