Thank's all will insigts.

The heads you showed ( expensive ) so they did not had a T incasted, correct ? Was alu high comp ? ( truck late 30's ) I did ask seller today on CC, but he did not know. By the way, those heads had 'Ford' in casted. As far I has read trucks had lower comp as relived from factory. -If I'm back...

The big T heads what CC had they ? ( as told high comp )

So a ’true’ alu head from a truck US made had a big T cast in. This heads was sold today and it was kind of odd issues here plus diffirent chamber CC, so I better was not the one get them. Seller was into super rare NOS pre factory prototypes (?)

Kube, On the heads I showed it is a 'Ford' ( script in cast ) if that is what you ask about. Again, would be Very intresting to see a USA made truck 38/39 with alu heads, a std truck/ std engine in. I has search but I can't find anything.

Sheldon. Did that early 50's French alu 24 stud head look like this and same numbers on it ?

I has a insight that this heads can be Ford made and in early 40's but from Germany or France. Ideas on that ? If so it don't work for me. If USA made and NOS and even if chambers is not the same I'm Ok, but not European made, it don't 'feel' right.

Alchemy, thanks, my misstake. Youre right.

It’s sound to me odd if a out from Ford made heads to aftermarket ( 50’s ) with Ford logo. Would be Very intresting to see a true truck 38/39 with this engine/heads on so I can se the numbers and how Ford had the numbers made incasted. Pictures ?

Found this but nothing on big trucks heads in aluminium. Has anyone a picture on a true Ford alu head made in late 30’s or into 40’s ? https://myflatheadford.com/decoding-flathead-v8-heads/

Ok I has a feeling it was later castings but seller said it was truck 39 and +, however if it is a good example of a non Ford castings ( later ) but would one dare cast in Ford / before ?

This NOS heads 24 stud aluminium heads with Nr ; 9T6050 ( Ford made ) As seller said it can be pick-up factory made 39 or into the 40's ( as the 8 AB came 49 ) Or is it Canada made heads and made in the 50's ? I has a Merc 1942 block that I has a early Weiand dual carb intake and a Kurten LZ...

Tim, there was direct after the war maybe really nice hotrods but I guess most was rather cruel builds and maybe most build for dirt/speed events. I can't say of mix of street to race to just full race or when hotrods became more nice, but there was cars build late 40's for look good. I might...

Yes that's what I also heard a confusion of 'Divco' or milktruck, as here was the deal for Fords own high clearance from KH ( Sold by Ford 1940 ) My is not welded as noted and if they was welded I has not bought them. I can't say what rule at Bonneville was in end of 40's or early 50's. Story...

Tim, I'm not that ‘super’ focus on exactly what was used back then, or how they builded them. But I like the historic part what was a viable, and what was popular. So I has add a own ‘factor’ as what could had been done.. But I don't like add in parts from late 50's or the 60's, as that kill my...
