Will the pulley's line up. Not sure but, you may find the fan blades will not clear the radiator hoses.

Re: 1953 FORD TRUCK FAN / pully
i saw a flathead with the original fan pulley that had 6 aluminum blades on it. the blades were like the 41 fords, 3 longer and 3 shorter (if i remember right). i didn't get a chance to talk to the owner but it looks like it was modified very nicely and i am thinking about doint the same thing.

Re: 1953 FORD TRUCK FAN / pully
The 8BA family of fans were designed to fit on a nice open engine frontal area with the distributor on the upper right side. If you try to put one where a distibutor is mounted, it's not a very good fit plus the belt tracks are in different positions. A person would have to put all the 8BA frontal equipment on there to make it work well. You should be able to find a fan from one of the earlier trucks for a 59A application and modify it to fit.
