Could be an early '68 production, or a truck not originally made in California.
I know my original engine had a plain valve cover, and the only one who messed with it since 1973 was me. My truck was a Fremont build in late '68.
In this pic, I painted the valve cover cast iron grey to get the look of a cast aluminum Clifford or Offy cover [which I can't afford, even if I did find one.]
