Hi all,

searching an 55th title with an V8 engine. Not to do something ilegal, only need to really explain that the 239 I have is really correct within the years 53-56 for our german technical authorities.

thanks, would be really great if someone could help me here.

cheers

Chris

 

your vin plate does the German technical authorities tell what engine was installed by factory.
are you missing that plate. Usually you will find it at the cab driver site door pillar.
ich spreche auch deutsch.
best regards

Dirk,
I have the plate, but this doesn't answer the need for the title, as my 53 was originally an inline 6..

 

vielleicht hilft das:
das zweite Foto löst die Motoren nach Baujahr auf.

 

By the way 239 was available 1953 and 1954 and not 1955.

 

btw? does this help me to find a a title? 239 Y Block was available in 55, of which I have the engine..

 

The 53 239 was the last year of the flathead.

54 was the OHV 239. In 1955 it was a 239 also.

 

we too had the same thought...

So to all, I really need a 54 or 55 title with VIN showing an V8.

many thanks.

 

You be fully right, sorry about that.
The part we’re I life in Germany a OEM document or website is good enough for approval.
Good luck to find one.

 

Guys, I had good intentions when I bought this but I need to build a shop in order to work on it and I just don't have the time or money so I am selling her.
I want her to go to a good home.
You can search my posts on here and see the whole timeline, story, etc.
That said, here it is:

1956 F600
Clear Virginia title
272 Y Block
New Battery
New aluminum radiator
Starts and runs with a little effort, fuel pump takes a while to prime but runs and idles well after warmed up
As you can see it was inspected and used in VA in 2008.
4 speed with 2 speed rear end.
Needs brake work but clutch and trans are fine, I have driven this truck in all 4 gears (used a rope and chase truck to slow down don't ask LOL!)
The spare rear end I have was driving with good brakes in 2019.
I have all (6) 22.5 ONE PIECE STOCK OEM 56 Ford wheels on it. The RARE ones. I bought them in Maryland off a 56 F600 that was being converted to an International10 bolt disc brake set up. These wheels are the real deal and in good shape.
I have also have (4) Firestone widowmakers and a spare 2 speed rear end.
I have the original radiator.Driver window glass missing.
Pass window glass cracked.
Tires are for rolling around only, really. They hold air mostly but old.
Body is in really good shape.
Original color was yellow. Now gray.
See pics, message me with questions, etc.
This truck will (just) fit on a 16 foot car trailer. I hauled it on my 7000lb 16 footer 3 hours home.
I can arrange to get the rear end in the back of a truck or up on the frame of the truck with a loader.

What's it worth? I dunno. Should be worth a decent amount to the right guy. Make me a reasonable offer and we will see what happens.
Hint: $1,000, your blown up 1991 Ford Fiesta, and a used lawn chair is not a reasonable offer.
I would consider interesting motorcycle type trades.

 

For sale: New upper radiator hoses for flathead V8 that I just bought from Speedway. $25 +shipping of your choice.
