The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Production years for G and H 6 cly flatheads?

I have a very dead G laying on it's side in my woods. I have a nice H on a run stand. Both have front motor mounts. The G has a 4 speed on it. The H has a four speed sitting alongside it. It's a hard thing to measure until I mount the trans on the H. Measuring from the center of the front mount's bolt hole to the transmission's mounting surface, the G and H appear the same. Funny, we need the same info, but backwards as I want to put this '51 H in a '47 tonner. I will keep you apprised of details. There is a guy on the '47 and earlier section on FTE (Ford Truck Enthusiasts) forum also getting ready to put an H in a 47 tonner. He looks like he will know the answer soon. Some of my 46-47 tonners have the double set of front mount holes(6 and 8 cyl) and some don't. A mystery.
