Re: 1968 C20 Build

One thing I managed to do was expose some casting numbers. I suspected that this is not the original 292, but maybe a later 70's one... but a google search of 3851859 tells me that it is a 1963-1972 292. So, I thought, it must be original!

Then I run the other numbers: Conveyor 2, cast on May 4, 1964. Is it possible that this block was cast 3-4 years before it was put in the truck?

Also, would this green paint be original? EDIT: After a search I suppose it would be, for a 1964 Engine. I will buying some Krylon #2013, I guess.
