Car vs. truck engine

[ford35lh]

Are there visual differences between a 35' car engine and 35' truck engine ???

Are there visual differences between a 37' car engine and 37' truck engine ???

Was the offset oil bath air cleaner on some trucks an option ???
When was it first offered ???

Here is a pic of the 21 stud heavy duty air cleaner offered as an option of the trucks. I think this one came off of a 34. I do not have the elbow or the pipe that goes to the carb. Also for comparison is one of the versions of the heavy duty air cleaner brackets offered for the 24 stud. I do not beleive visually there was any difference in the looks of the car vs truck engines, but I cold be wrong. Rod

there are single and double belt setups, several generators, several different water pumps, larger clutches, most trucks had cast iron intakes and heads

I am pretty sure that the oil bath could be gotten for the A, so I think it was offered for most years, I have a NOS kit for 36, but no pictures

My question referred to the block and manifolds.

Trucks in my collection,as acquired, have both single belt
and double belts.
I don't know if its safe to assume an original engine was replaced
with a car engine . One has single pulley pumps but dual sheave
pulleys on the crank and generator.

I have a low miles running engine from a rodded 37' sedan that I
am going to dual pulley into a truck engine. But I don't want to
be criticized for the wrong engine if I show the truck.

The dual pulley system was mentioned for use in buses with the large capacity generator ---study the parts book
