Block number decoding - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I got these codes off the truck block in my C-20 and went to Mortec to decode....they have no numbers that match these and no link to anywhere that does. I would like to find out where this motor came from so I can decide better what to do if the block has issues when I get the thing torn down (like bad rings, etc.). For those who don't know, I had a head gasket go bad on me this week.

Here are the numbers....can anyone decode them? These were found at the front left of the block under the alternator bracket.
