( a) The serialization applied to trucks and commercial vehicles using these Ford engines. Zip Manager For Nokia 5233 Free Download here. They may have different serial prefixes, but would be inclusive within the serial ranges shown.

In other words, passenger car totals must be combined with truck and commercial vehicles to arrive at total usage of the engine production numbers shown. ( b) The serial numbers were stamped on the vehicles without any commas or superfluous 0's (zeros). They have been shown here to help identify the general starting number.

For instance, the first 1939 Mercury would have a '99-1' stamped as its serial number (rather than 99-001as shown above).

According to the Early Ford V8 Club 1938-39 Ford reference book, Ford held up production of the 60hp engine for awhile due to overstock. They stopped building the engine at #54-468,967 on December 23, 1937 and did not resume production until April 20, 1939 with #54-476,288.

No data for trucks and commercial vehicles with 60hp V8's is given, so the total number for 1939 is unknown. ( e) According to the same EFV8 Club reference book, the first model year 1939 production V8 (85hp) was #18-4,657,660 which was built Sept. This conflicts with the 'first' number listed above (a difference of 3,341 units). ( f) In the 1938 model year Ford changed from the 21 stud 85hp V8 to the 24 stud engine.

Introduced in late 1947, the F-Series was the first post-war truck design from Ford. The first generation of the F-Series would remain in production until 1952. F-Series trucks were assembled at sixteen different Ford factories. Serial numbers indicate the truck model, engine, year, assembly plant, and unit number.

Lowest number used with 1948 prefixes for V-8 passenger car engines is 899A-1984859.

Due to inventory of engines at various assembly plants, some 1947 models will have higher numbers than the above. However, the prefix changes will definitely identify the 1948 models from the 1947 models.'

The serial numbering shown in the chart above reflects this numbering variance. ( j) On 1950 thru 1953 models (and beyond) any additional letters between the basic model letters and serial numbers denote the assembly plant. For Data Plate decode information,.
