    That's a 1957 (or thereabouts) Chevy 10-bolt. Not the strongest around, but a lot of them were used for hotrods.

    Is there a series of letters or numbers before the casting number?

    B281 decodes to February 28, 1961.

    G187 decodes to July 18, 1957.

    L66 decodes to December 6, 1956

    The letter is the month, the last digit is the year, the middle 1 0r 2 digits are the day of the month.
