I think your truck guy is shooting in the dark...mainly because the L-series trucks were 1950 to 1952 models (some leftover '52's were sold & titled as '53's in some locations). So let's look at this logically. If it's from an L-series, that would be '50 to '52...but that number doesn't come up in my parts books for the SD-220/SD-240 used in most L-series thru 170. It might be from an RD-series, but since those were larger sixes, I don't think that's likely. My best guess would be a BD-series engine. My Glenn Mitchell Interchange Manual shows the '57-'59 BD-220 to use a 164415-R head, and the '60-'63 BD-240/BG-241 to use a 164415-R head. And walking outside to examine my '51 and '52 L-110 pickups didn't reveal any external casting numbers...but it did bring something else to mind. The stock SD-220 engine in the '51 uses a narrower valve cover, as it's what is referred to as a "non-tilt valve" engine...while the BD-264 that somebody transplanted into the '52 uses a wider and taller bvlave cover, and IS what they call a "tilt-valve" engine. So the "tilt-valve" vs. "non-tilt valve" heads might also affect piston clearance; that is, if your pistons are set up for a tilt-valve head, a non-tilt valve head might have some piston-to valve interference. I know this probably confuses the issue some, but from what I'm discovering--since I don't have a '53-up truck parts manual--is that you've probably got a BD-220 or BD-240 head, of the non-tilt valve variety. BTW, my parts book shows the SD-220/240 head part number to be 76980-R92 (with valves) and 76979-R91 (with guides only). Hope this is more help than hindrance!

Ford Super Dexta - by Anthony West. The rusty blue tractor caught my eye as my truck zipped by the farm implement business. It looked so fornlorn amongst the lineup of newer equipment. But it was just the right size for my small farm. I stopped in and asked the proprietor for further information. "It's a 64 Ford Super Dexta", he said. "It's a tough little tractor, although it's a hard starter being a diesel and all." He did manage to get it running, compliments of a can of ether. Once started it putted along pretty good. It
