I am looking at a 1993 Chevy Z71 and many things in it look wrong. I am trying to figure out if the engine is original but I can’t find anywhere that can decode the engine pad stamping. The code is V0513TXB. Every list on the internet says it is a 1975 but those lists don’t seem to list anything after 1987. Can someone help me decode this? If there is a website with decoding information that would be a great future resource as I look for a truck and others look.

V=Flint
05=May
13=13th of the month
TXB=????
