| What's this truck?
It's on a farm but not close to us, & a friend wants to know what it is... he's looking for a particular flathead Ford engine?

Looks to be a 1956 Ford 600 with a dumping grain bed on it. | |

Could have a flat head in it. Might also be a six banger as well. Fairly big trucks got not so big power in that era too. | |

If its a Ford F600 it probably has a Mercury or Lincoln engine. Usually the Ford engine was used in the smaller 1/2, 3/4 and 1 ton trucks. | |

By the looks of the "V" shadow on the front where the chrome emblem used to be, I would say it was probably a V8.

Looks like at one time it did have the V-8 emblem on it so that would make it either a 272-inch or a 302-inch OHV V-8. Someone suggested that it might be a F-600 but I even wonder if it's not a F-700. A good close up look at the trim on the side of the hood would say. | |

Larger Ford trucks of the 1950's had there own engines. I pulled a 279 From an F-750 Fire truck one time. Also, the 332 was a V8 Ford truck motor. There were others that I would have too look up. Dandy Dave!

Also a 312 now comes to mind... Some of these trucks came though with a Clark 5 speed overdrive synchro mesh trans. The overdrive transmissions had to shifted forward for high gear, and the direct high was shifted rearward. Dandy Dave!

Thanks all; I guess we've got it narrowed down to "its a 50's Ford truck with a V-8"... I see a road trip in my future.
