In defense of 6 cylinders

[Als48]

Does anyone know what engine a '50's White semi tractor used? I remember seeing one a few months ago, that a friend had repainted and flipped. Don't think he rebuilt the drivetrain. If I remember correctly, it was a flathead six, with over 500 cubic inch displacement. Probably a torque monster!

If you can give me a closer year, I may be able to find it.

Irrelevant but, I had a White "city tractor" in '78. It had a 200 hp, OHV, 400 6.
