Default Non standard head 1938
Has anyone seen a flathead head with a letter raised T on it? It also has a number 81T 6049 stamped on it. I suspect it may be a replacement but who made it? Thanks
Terry

81T heads are "most commonly" referred to as "truck" heads. 81T-6049 is the right hand head. 81T heads, for me and my interests, the correct heads for 1939-1941 Mercury's.
