My father has a 1959 Ford F250. He is only the second owner of the truck and he was told that the engine is original along with the current listed mileage. He is wanting to sell the truck but is unsure of the engine size. I listed it for him on craigslist just to see if he received any interest. An individual told us that the engine is not the original as the picture we listed showed the distributor in the front but for this model and year, the only V8engine available in the '59 was a 292 Y block which has the distributor in the rear of the engine and not the front.
I just wanted to get some honest insight from people that know what they are talking about. I can get you some pics if needed to answer correctly.
Thank you
