I have no idea of when the engine was rebuilt or the actual mileage. I knew the head casting numbers were off, the block is a 3769716 casting (58-62) correct for the year of the Truck.
I have a new in the box Melling CCS1, cam kit with lifters. I don't believe the pistons will require knurling, once I check the cylinders I'll know more.
As for the scaring on the piston top, that piston is #1, #2 was the one with really low compression. Who knows what this engine has been subjected to, after all did you see the pickup screen.
