Is there a difference?
I honestly don't know, but I don't think that there would be one...

So Charles, wassup in P-Cola ??

Got a sorta answer for you. I once took a stock 312 out of a 57 pickup and put it in a 59 Ranchero. The truck used a stamped steel L-shaped mount that bolted directly to the timing chain cover using the lower four (?) bolts outboard of the location where the crank comes thru the cover. Side mounts were not used but the threaded bolt bosses were there. Everything appeared identical to the car application and the engine mounted in exactly like a car block. Could be wrong, but, don't think there is an external difference between the car and truck application (including timing covers). HTH

Mulletwagon,

Thanks. I tried to send you some e-mail about a week ago but it would not go through. You may have changed addresses and not updated your profile.

I have both the car EBU 6058 C and truck versions of the timing covers and there is a difference where the front engine mount goes. The truck cover C1TE 6058 F has deeper bosses where the bolts go thru at the bottom of the cover to match up with the front egine mount bracket. Also there is a difference in water pumps bewtween them, the truck cover takes a slightly larger pump that will not interchange with the car pump.

Thanks for the reply. This brings up another question the C1TE suggest a 1961 part I wonder if the earlier covers were different the same way?

Thanks Charles

I also have a 1955 239 Y block truck engine in my 1955 F100, and it is the same as the C1TE truck cover.

I just tried to replace my 239 water pump with a 272 water pump Because I wanted to get rid of the fan brackets. The bolt pattern is diffrent & the 239 has a bigger turbine on the back of the pump( not sure what the correct name).
