AL WTB: 1970 date coded 402 BB Intake

[GMCNUT]

Hey guys - My 70 CST 402 truck had an aluminum intake put on it at some point, and another previous owner switched it out to a semi-correct 71 or 72 402 intake, but the choke boss is in a different orientation on a 70 intake, plus this is the only not date code correct part on my truck now, so I want to swap it to someone who has a late 69 or 1970 dated intake and needs mine, or buy one outright - does anyone happen to have a verifiable correct 1970 402 BB intake to sell?

Which intake are you looking for?

3963569 1970 402 aluminum with Holley 4BBL low rise intake. riveted oil splash shield.

3955287 1970 402 cast iron with Rochester 4BBL low rise intake. No oil splash shield.

Ole' Blue & 19Step - after talking to JQ-72 on this forum about this, his suggestion to me was to ask for a Mar/April/May date coded 1970 intake, to be consistent with my trucks' May build month and match the trucks' other March & April date codes - so if either of you discover a 70 intake with these months on it, please let me know - Thank you so much!

I have a complete 70 402 truck engine. The intake casting number looks like: #3956287. It is hard to read, so the "6" may be a "5". Anyway, I am sure it is a correct '70. The build date is "J 23".

Thank you very much for offering, but according to Josh (JQ-72 on here) I should be looking for a 70 cast iron intake with a C=March, D=April or E=May month code (where yours is a J=October) in order for it to be "Numbers Matching" because my truck came off the line in May, so I guess the dates need to be pretty close to my build date otherwise I am no better off really than using this existing 71 intake....I do so much appreciate you offering though - wish your intakes' date was before June....

Just in case anyone out there thinks I am insane for being so granular on the date code, I want to just say I normally never care too much about date codes as long as my trucks are "correct" parts-wise, but this particular truck is so untouched minus someones understandable decision many years back to slap on an Aluminum intake and headers, that now that I have corrected the headers issue by replacing them with the correct 402 exhaust manifolds, I only need to get this one last thing right then the truck will be so much more valuable and a correct historical example as well, so hopefully someone out there has one closer to my build month, so until then I will keep looking....thank you!
