The number on top left is engine serial number with date of 10/13/71.
The number below that is transmission serial number with date of 10/13/71 (286th day of 1971).
The number below the truck serial number is rear axle assembly serial number. I believe R11 would be for October 11, but I'm not certain.
Then, on the far right is a chevy emblem with another digit stamped next to it for the build month. I can't read it... I would have expected a K for October or an L for November.
So, not knowing the build month digit, I would say your truck's build date was sometime between 10/13/71 - 11/10/71.
Oh, and the lone 'R' is for Rochester carburetor.
