Re: Ford 1943 military truck.
Nice looking truck. Should be a good restoration candidate.
The triangular paint mark with three holes on the left front fender is typical of a siren light mount for the 40's truck. This could have been a fire truck when built. Maybe that is why it is a 6 cylinder

Re: Ford 1943 military truck.
If I remember correctly, Ford had a coupe of 6 cyl engines with different numbers/patterns of head bolts.
Valve adjustment is unbeleiveable for a "modern' engine!
