Welcome from The U.S. of A. I see 8RT stamping on the cyl head, that's 1949 or later truck. Should make good runner if you get her going. Good Luck
Thanks so much guys , I have done some more research as well as having some great experience stripping the motor and truck , so it's a 49 I have the chassis and engine/bell housing number - would anybody be able to help me with the identification of these numbers , the truck is a 47 body ... But the engine (1949) and chassis are the same numbers ? Please help Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
