I'm trying to get some parts for my engine and, therefore, trying to determine the year. I've looked in the usual place, in front of the distributor, for the casting number but there is nothing there. The serial number, in back of the distributor, begins with LDA so according to Inliners.org it's a '53. (the rest of the s/n is 575363). The head casting # is 3701883 which, according to 1954 Advanced-Design, is a '53 truck head. This should mean that the block casting number should be 3701946 or 3701887, but I can't find either of those numbers anywhere on the block. Any ideas?
