I know I’ve got the number right. It’s crystal clear. To my understanding of the partial vin, C = “chevy truck” , 5 = ‘75 , z= Fremont. I'm a little surprised that the two pad codes would show factories across the country from each other. I think the Lime Book is just listing the engine code suffixes? For this, that'd be T?K (the middle character is not stamped well enough to read.)

According to the lime book, and other sources, that's probably either TXK or TZK. Seems to be '75 C10, C30 or van maybe.
