If your truck has AC there is a bracket that bolts there otherwise empty
T is Tonawanda...D 22 71 is April 22 1971. Very cool. I recall a topic on that date code. A month before the truck was built. http://tonawanda.gm.com/Facilities/p...anda/news.html

Head casting number is under the valve cover as well as cast date Nice. Pretty much only thing left on the frame at this point.

If your truck has AC there is a bracket that bolts there otherwise empty. Sorry man, I should have described what we're looking at. That's the rear side of the LH head.

On a side, the block casting was used 1969-73 for 396, 402, 454. Nice info. http://www.chevy-camaro.com/chevy-ca...es.asp?group=1

With assys, the guide accts for 1000s details, OEM identifications & part numbers, written in short order. 700+ images of assm., illust., charts, and points of interest. Much of the info. applies to all 67-72 GM trucks, and to a lessor degree all 67-72 GM vehicles. My build thread, and more on the guide https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=730025
