I put 8RT heads on mine, as they were nicer looking than the 8BA heads that were on my engine which came out of a 51 F-2. Alot of the 8RT engines were worn out by the early 60's, and were replaced with 8BA engines from cars. I mis-read my parts book. I stand corrected.

Don't be misled by assuming that the parts book tells you what parts were on a truck(car) when manufactured. The parts book lists REPLACEMENT parts.
