The block casting number comes back as a 58-62 235.

I think the date code comes back as August 3(?) 1958
I = August
3 = 3rd day of the month (but usually 2 digits)
8 = last digit of the year within the range of the block casting number.

Can't help on the block serial number. Maybe Flint plant produced Dec 16 for a truck

Here's the reference I used: LINK

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
