The engine in the truck is not a flathead. It’s an OHV engine. Was that available in 52? I’ve heard yea & no.

My 53 is last year of the flathead 8. I did not get a good look at this engine. I think you are correct that it is ohv. It sits pretty high and Sparky was scared of how loud it was, so I did not get that close to look. It sounded good though.
