Anyone ever come across one?
I picked mine up off of an old gent in Surrey BC that owned two shoebox fords. Has a narrow belt pulley and 8ba part number cast into the flange that bolts to generator support... I’ve looked up the part number in some of my old ford parts books and nothing matches up.
Old fellow swore it was a stock option for 8BA’s, I will post part number when I’m in from work and get a chance. Nice piece and sure moves the air.

I know 4 blades and 3 blades were common. Pretty sure the 4’s came mostly on trucks and the 3’s on cars? Curious if anyone else has come across a 5 blade. I’ll try and post a photo, still figuring that one out.

Plan to be around here more as I’m getting on with projects again after my boy was born. Cheers!
