So you are saying that the #'s on a 72 C10 block can be traced back to a single specific VIN of the truck it should be installed in? I didn't know they were that specific. Just thought all you could tell from a GM block at most is the year, make, and model of the vehicle it is correct for.

And as far as the C10's not being a prize....well, I used to say that about late 70's cars too, such as the Bandit Trans Ams and late 70s early 80's Camaros. Have you seen what those are fetching nowadays?
