E600?

Hello fellow Ford lovers, I am trying to help a friend restore a 1948 E600 Flatbed and have had little luck within these forum walls on identifying the engine, etc. It is a v8 with split shift manual tranny, dually and it has E600 logos all over it. How would we go about determining engine displacement and such. There is a nomenclature plate attached to the glove box lid which lists some info but nothing regarding the engine. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Wow, that's a new one! Welcome to FTE.

Where in the world are you located? - 'cause that's not a factory badge from the US.......also posting the vin would help us pin it down.

Ford started 'E' series econolines in the 60's I believe, and 600 series began in '53.

If it is a 48 the stock engine in an F6 truck (2 ton) would have been the 239 flathead V8 which is very common and was also used in cars and lighter trucks.

Tim,
You are absolutely correct. I had a typo in my original post...it is a F600 and I am still looking for the vin #.
Thanks from esat texas
