Don't think so, couldn't match up any numbers. But, I do not have the car parts books. Ford-O-Matic was introduced in 1951 on Ford and Mercury (Merc-O-Matic, same as F-O-M) passenger cars (Lincolns used Hydramatic), but the only year truck with a flathead V8 that had F-O-M was 1953 (first yr for an A/T in a F Series truck).

Ok well, thanks Bill,
it is a 1953 F100 with he flathead 239.
The guy s threatning to swap out to a 302 auto and I just gotta make sure that don't happen, so his wife could drive it. If he can't find a automatic for his flathead.
