Default Help Identify V8

Rookie here! Been reading a lot and still a lil bit confused.

36 dump truck. ( i think). Frame stamp by steering gearbox
BB18 2432399

Engine: see attached photos. 21 stud, 2 water petcocks at 45 degree angle.
Water pumps are on the heads. Block water pump locations plated off.
If there is a crank vent at front oil pan corner, i cant see it due to grease.
Have found a few stamps on top of block, but no “LB”.

1. What is the year of this engine?

Everything has dual belt pulleys, except the generator has a single belt pulley.
Fan is attached to generator.

2. So did they only run one belt?

Cleaned plugs; marvel oil in cyls, set points total dwell, and it runs pretty good.
I will pull her down and go thru it.

3. Radiator has a semi circle tank on top to match the high mount of fan
On gen. Is this right?

I enjoy reading all your wisdom, just hoping yall could help me dial it in.
