The engine serial number in your last photo bears no resemblance to a V6 serial number. The very earliest V6s were installed in a few model year 1959 trucks for testing purposes.

You can find your engine's serial number stamped into the top of the block between the cylinder head and that big alternator of yours. You can see what to look for here: http://www.6066gmcguy.com/EngineData.html
