Re: 49 Ford truck with 59a engine
An important point to recall is that the shoebox models were a bit delayed causing the '48 car models to be extentions of the '47 versions. There was an abbreviated run of '48 cars before an early rollout of the '49 cars. (per the Early Ford V8 Club 41-48 book)
The truck line update wasn't delayed and the Bonus Built models debuted with the '48 model year.
