Hi,its been awhile.I have a 1948 ford f1 226 motor 4 spd trans short bed 5 lug bolt pattern.I am having problems with serial numbers,they don't match Glove box number 87HY80400 8HC Engine # 7HA6015B Trans #7HY80400 Frame #87HY80400 rear end tag #4EV-AA1 7ED 75-9 718A any help telling me what I have would be great, Thanks
My 2c is you have all the original engine and transmission. 7HA is the correct engine code for a 6 cylinder truck. The number on the trans is a partial vin that matches your frame. The one thing that stands out to me is the rear end tag. The original Dana rear didn't have a tag, and your's looks like one from a later 9" Ford. I'm guessing where you have 75, it's next to a bolt and right by it probably says 2., meaning 2.75 ratio.
Ok thanks,I was hoping this was original engine,you are correct about rear tag ford 9 out of econoline van,I am looking to keep this truck Thank You for all replies
That sounds great. I looked it up and it looks like in the mid-70's they increased the width to near 70", so I guess the earlier ones must have been the same as the F100's.
