What auto transmission is in a 1978 Chevy k 1500 truck with 350 engine?

A 1978 Chevy K1500 with a 350 engine most likely had one of the following automatic transmissions:

* TH350: This was the most common automatic transmission in those years.

* TH400: Less common than the TH350, but still a possibility, especially if it was a heavier-duty truck or had options geared towards towing.

To know for sure which one is in *your* specific truck, you'll need to check:

* The transmission case itself: There are markings cast into the transmission case that will identify it.

* The build sheet (if you have it): This would definitively state the transmission type.

* The vehicle identification number (VIN): A decoding service (many are online) can sometimes provide transmission information from the VIN, though it's not always guaranteed.

Checking the transmission case is the most reliable method.
