Stock intake manifold for a 396

[68Saddle]

Hello everyone,
My name is Julio and I'm the owner of a 1968 C10 that the SPID says it's an original V8 396 truck. I didn't get the correct engine with it, but I would love to put the truck back to all original and so I'm here to ask a lot of questions from people that are a lot more knowledgeable than me. Would anyone know what the correct heads and intake manifold be for a 396 in 1968?
Thank you in advance

Thank you. After some research, I've narrow it down to 3 sets of heads
3856260
3965198
3975950
Would anyone know which ones would be the correct ones?
Also I think the correct intake is casting #3883948.
Am I correct on this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is a little more intake specific

3883948 1966 1967 1968 396 396 396 325 w/A.I.R. 325 325, 350 Cast iron with Rochester 4-bbl. No oil splash shield

Im pretty sure the same casting numbers would apply to truck 396. Although I could be wrong.

Thank you so much! My truck is a XE so it would have came with the four barrel.
