I was looking to see if I had a 53 block and the only numbers I could find were 10G7 and 256 does anyone recognize these? My truck is a 12v 98

 

I never really heard of a 97 with a 53 block. Mine is a 97 block and it has some scrambled numbers. As long is it is not #53 I would not worry about it.

 

Its real hard to miss the big 53 (the numbers are close to an inch high)....check out Stameys page for location....

Im lucky enough to have a number of pics on that page....

 

Thanks for the replys guys but my question still stands, is 10G7 a block number?

 

no......if you dont see the big 53....it doesnt matter which other block you have.

 

BOOSTEDTE37- I would be more worried about what that Fram oil filter that is on your engine in your pix is doing to your engine, then what block # u have!!! get that thing off of there! get a wix, fleetguard, or baldwin or even a mopar brand, but get that orange sucker off of there befor you ruin your engine!, do a search on regards of oil filters and you will see what I am talkin about!

 

Hey thanks for the heads up, I just bought the truck from my uncle a couple of months ago and I was fixing to change all the fluids this weekend. That is a couple of nice bucks on your tailgate nothing like that down here on the gulfcoast.

 

YAh, thanks! I finally got the head mount back of the 13 pointer, and gonna get it scored. I got a sports show to go to this weekend to show it off, and shake hands and tell the story how I shot them about 3000 fricken times! There is a tdr meeting this weekend to, up in MN that I would like to go to also, but I do not think I am gonna make it!

 

What does it score?

 

What will it score? hopefully around the 160-170 mark!, I am not sure if you mean by your question, but the they have licensed scorers that offically score the rack by takeing measurements of all the beams and tally everything up and come up with a score!, My dad has one hanging that scored 198 3/4 in the boone and crocket! , Mine is close but not as perfect matches between left and right, and the tines on mine measure 12 1/2 inches long on the longest ones, and his measured 14 1/4. When I get it scored oficially, I will let you know!

 

You answerd my question correctly Holy shiznit 198 Got any pics and do you need a hunting buddy next season I planning on going to South Dakota but I can change my plans

 

Actually we have 18-19 guys in our group right now! It takes more then this for the area we hunt! we had a few more, but they wnt seperate ways after some other altercastions durring the coarce of the year. I do not have any pix of my dads myself, but I will try to get some. If you were serious about hunting up here I will see what I can do to ask the group, but this teritory gets pretty hairy and some of our guys hate newbies! but it cost so much money for out of staters to come to Iowa to hunt is the main thing, I think its like $200or $300 something for out of state!

 

I will pm you later about a possible road trip to Iowa this fall
I agree with on Chris I was lucky enough to see him in concert twice out west a few years back he was and will always be one of my favorite country performers
