Looking at what remains of the vin stamp it's either 19N555219 or 19N556219, both indicate a Dec of '68 Norwood built Z, 551863-569987.
Block date code is K148 which is Nov 14, '68 so date stamp on block could appropriately be V1121DZ, Nov 21.

Seller was rarel88427. $900.
It's an original block, but lightly decked?
-
Strange surface finish, appears to be shot blasted or peened after decking.
Could be 553219 - hard to tell even under magnification.

What could have been used on the surface of that block? Look too inconsistent to be sand blasted with something other than 0000 or even 000. Would sitting in the mud/dirt for a long time do that?
