This is not definative. The definative number is stamped on a round tag approximately the size of a dime which is affixed to the carburetor body (normally the airhorn casting) with a rivet. One could compare the numbers of the two carburetors.

The 95089 is not a GMC number. Probably someone has migrated the carburetor to your truck.
