The engine came from same source but not same truck as far as I know.

See my statement in Post #7 above. The engine is a dealership-supplied reco engine and could well be from this truck, the original being long gone and traded in for the reco.

If you can read more of the bellhousing number, we might be able to ID the the truck's ARN, and what variant the truck was.

I read the serial number on the rebuild tag to be AV2R6782. Does the other number, N or(W or V)59xx7xP, appear to be poorly hand stamped, or factory? A photo would be good, I suspect it will be crudely hand stamped, and will tell you why.
