Nb:Crank Question

[turbocwd]

Is it possible to have a cast steel crank in my motor? I compared it to the crank out of a 91 4.3 that I got and the crank looks alot different in color and has more machining done to the counterweights. The crank has GM markings on it I would post pictures but I dropped it at the machine shop today.I just wanted to know if it they where available.The motor had Eagle rod and keith black hyper. pistons when I got it in boxes with the truck. The motor was in the truck before the previous owner.Any info would help thanks.

I did a search but didn't find what I was looking for.

Thank you
N/B Cliff

Machine shop confirmed thats it is indeed a steel crank I was not aware that they were ever available. I search on the site but I find people with Billet cranks not steel so thats why I asked. This truck was Pinellas50 old Ty he was having problems with a few months ago.
link from a few month ago with pics of crank.
