Again I cant find a number to match yours but this one is close. maybe you misread 8 for 9?
3883948 1966-68 396 325 HP L-35 and 427 390 HP L-36

As far as engine castings, I really never bothered learning how to decode engines. I attempted a few times, but said forget it. There's a few ppl here that will chime in... kinda suprised they have not already.
As for the lwb step sides... you need to look at the wheel base too, that's where you are confused on what I was saying. (let me scroll up and make sure it's not my fault)
You read that as no LWB step sides.... I was talking about longhorn wheel base... not regular LWB.
Step sides came in 3 sizes;
6 1/2 ft... only in 115, or 1/2 ton.
8 ft... came in 1/2 ton and 3.4 ton. (there's the LWB step)
9 ft... came in one ton only, and only on the 133 inch wheelbase.

My Bad.......

Longhorn man you ever get a chance to see if my truck was a true longhorn

[Longhorn Man]

Regardless of any numbers STSalvage,it's a longhorn IF it has a 6 inch section added (and quite visibly welded) to the front of the bed yielding a 102 inch bed.-cougar

Your casting number doesn't come up. The closest matches are 3935439 : 68-69 427, or 3935440 : 68-69 396 from www.nastyz28.com. They have quite an extensive list of casting numbers.

As for the intake manifold, areyou sure the number isn't 3883948, this shows up as a 66-68 396 325 hp, which would make sense or a 66-68 427. Either way I don't think this would be the high rise intake since this was the low hp 396.

thanks just trying to find out one last thing did GM have a casting problem on the 396 blocks in 1968 cus the numbers are back words
