Re: Do factory truck small blocks usually come with steel cranks?

Yeah, I'm not arguing anything. I can't argue on the 4-bolt thing because I truly can't recall at this point. It was an absolutely original '68 C/20 327 when I rebuilt it. It was certainly a forged crank in there. I was saying those articles never mentioned larger trucks is all. They did mention industrial, but the two aren't the same. So, are the block casting numbers for 302-327-350 that list as 2-bolt & 4-bolt mean 2-bolt at first, then came the 4-bolt in the same casting? I'm talking about 3932386 (68-74) and 3956618 (68-79).
