Are you maybe talking about a trans with a shifter like this? DD

And Nitrous, don't forget the Nitrous.

Those Lincoln side shift set ups were definitely different.

Ha! You wanna see "different"? You ALSO wanna see "side shift set-up"? Compare the bolt pattern on the SHIFTER cover on BOTH boxes....they are both the same Lincoln Zep CASE! Does everyone realize what the BOTTOM transmission was used in? DD

Given the clutch arm on the right side of the trans I'd guess English or Aussie but of course that is just a guess.

Simply put, it's a RHD (Right Hand Drive) trans used 1940-'48, as in the second picture below! It's interesting to note that the INSPECTION Cover and the 'Serial #' pad are not lined-up straight on these. DD

This is a valve from the mercury block, I guess the C stands for Canadian.

[rotorwrench]

If Ford of Canada changed to rotator type valves than that is likely an example of the Canadian part. They used the C in the prefix on a lot of their parts.

That's a '52 hood on the truck, the hood trim also appears to be '52. Can you post the serial number?
