New to using a forum never have subscribed to one before have used many in the past to kind of find a way through something but always found my way without asking for help. Anyway from Central Texas and have a lot of trucks cars equipment ect. But thanks for letting me be on here and maybe i can help some of ya'll if need be. Also need to post a question about my engine if someone could direct me to the right place. Thanks

Here's what I have a 1982 C30 Camper Special for a long time have barley used it but was my father in-laws that past away in 2013. We built it together from a man that had it dissembled, engine out, body off frame, bed off but all sitting in a huge building collecting dust since the early 90's. We picked it up around 2008 and had it together early 09 had it running and driving good and even got a tittle for it which turned out an odd ordeal considering it has a commercial title also vin number (1GBHC34W4CV*****) is weird not able to really decode it and has some really cool RPO codes. Anyway it's sat on the back burner for yrs and never put much thought into it but just recently got into looking at it and finding out how unique this truck is. I'm new to all this forum stuff don't usually post or ask questions i like to try and figure them out on my own. I'm in need of a little clarification on my engine i have. I took some pictures of the casting number and date code the best i could considering how much of a pain it is to get back there to it especially when the engine is caked in oil and dirt. The best i could make out is casting number 3999290 and date code D30 75 tell me if ya'll see anything i'm not. From my research casting number 3999290 is a 402 made 70-72 but if that is true how could the date be 75? Any help with the engine and vin would help. Thanks

Welcome from northern Arizona ...........
You will find the kids on this forum to be a great bunch, they will help you solve any issues you have to contend with, the knowledge base is incredible.
But if anybody tries to help you by saying you need to do a LS-1 or 2 swap, just pretend you didn't read that post.
You will probably even make some new friends here too.

Blame it on the space aliens, they mess with me here all the time.

One of the mods can move it for you as soon as they see it, or you can message them and ask.
They are the ones with green names in the who's here list.

The mods are often hit and miss being online, as they have real lives to live and get busy doing that, but they show up here a lot too when they have some free time so be patient.
