Air compressor

Anybody know if this is a ford compressor or a old school aftermarket . This thing is on a y block ford in a f800 . I am going to look for one like this to put on my 272 for now . I think I m doing the axle swap and air brake up grade before a engine swap. Thanks

It does appear to be much more than needed to supply brakes. Wish the picture were larger.

I have one from a 56 f800 and it looks just like that. All I have left is the engine with the air compressor still on it.

R = 272, Heavy Duty, 4 barrel carb

Bye for now, Old Ugly
Fourth character is a Z
