So I order a timing chain for my GMC and it is a 305A chain, How do I find out what engine I have to be sure it's a 305A, no one has chains, I tried rock auto and Kanter and no luck, EGGE had 1 so I bought it on a chance it's the one I need.

If its original to a pickup it should be a 305A engine. However, GMC used a double roller and a silent type chain and you need the gears to go with the chain. Rock Auto has both types of chains listed as well as the gears.
