Question

I bought a 52 Flat Head I was told out of a truck. I cleaned it and it is painted bronze. The air cleaner is bronze also It's an 8BA According to my research 52 truck motors were green ??? I guess truck water pumps are different.

How can I tell if they are truck water pumps ?

Could it be a passenger motor 48-51 That was put in a truck ?

wide belt, mounting is a vertical bolt, not bolted at an angle. as an aside--most army trucks came with an 8ba because they had more power than an 8rt--higher compression
