I believe my carb on my 54 GMC 248 is a 228BV11..I can buy a new 28BV11. Does anyone know the difference between the two and if the 28BV11 will fit my truck?

The 228BV11 is a style 228 with choke B (cross) and physical size 11. 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.

Good carburetion is fuelish hot air
The most expensive carburetor is the wrong one you attempt to modify.

Right spot, but maybe the number is dirty. The 1045 hc is probably 1045 (another digit) c, possible example 10456C.

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