Can anyone tell me the correct engine color for the V-8 in a '49 F1 ? I have tried to use the search engine and haven't had any luck yet, Thanks.

Red!

Some sources cross over from the car V8 colors and say Dark Blue, Green or Bronze, But I've never heard of anyone with one of out trucks say they had a pre 52 engine any color other than red.

Flathead Specifications: 1949-53 V8

The red color Ford used at the time was called "Vermillion."

Color chart is in this post about 223 IL6s
