The first one is a 59-AB, second is an 8BA, its got head studs with nuts, if its got pet ***** behind the water pumps its a 48 model, first year in the trucks. Third looks to be a later ohv 4 cyl of some sort.
The first engine may not be a 59A (1946-1948) motor. In the picture I cannot see a 59 cast into the bell housing. The radiator it is attached to looks like a 1938-1939 pickup / truck radiator. The generator mount fan is definitely 1939 or older, but the transmission is 1940 or newer. For a definite identification on the first motor look here: http://www.goldengatev8.org/tips/Evo...heFlathead.pdf
Also, DO NOT put the earlier motor on a modern engine stand supported by the bell housing. The 8BA is fine, but I have seen several earlier motors with the bell housing broken off from using incorrect engine stands.
How do you post pictures, I have a 53 with a flat head in it and would love to find out what model it is or year even. also it has been sitting outside for 10 years(i know) in the truck still but{i still know} what would you do first before starting it as it did run when i originally bought it
