I wonder if that could be an aftermarket fan. Flatties are known to run hot, maybe someone found a better idea. It could also be an industrial engine that used on a pump or sawmill. I'd try the Ford Barn, there's a lot of very knowledgeable flathead guys over there.

Oh man I'm such an idiot! You guys are right there's 8 bolts on the 239 truck fan. I read the removal procedure and looked at the picture and it's of the IL6 and that has 4 bolts. Point was though, there should have been retaining bolts if it was a truck fan.
Anyway, Ross is right, 52 Ford Passenger Car Shop Manual says: "The 8 cylinder [car] fan hub rotates on a sealed self-lubricated ball bearing."
The procedure for the fan removal from that Shop Manual is:
"(1) 8-CYLINDER FAN REPLACEMENT. Remove the screws retaining the fan bracket to the generator bracket. Remove the fan assembly and belt.
To install the fan, hold the fan assembly against the generator bracket and install the retaining screws finger tight. Install the fan belt. Adjust the belt tension and tighten the screws."
Sorry about the mistake - not unusual to have a few screws missing that late at night - LOL!
