OK here is some info for you. That serial # is pretty high for 1950 so your truck may have been set up for column shift. If so thats good as you can use the clutch pedal linkage on the car transmission. Another option may be to find a later truck or car toploader 3speed and mount it to the six Bell housing.
Ford F Series
The cars have the long tailshaft the trucks have the short one. You most likely will have to find or fab a rear trans mount if you use the car transmission. I 'think' the toploaders will bolt to the flathead bellhousing. The early 50 floorshift is much different than the colomn shift or car transmission. It uses the round behousing on 49-53 flatheads. The clutch linkage atatches to a lever bar that goes through the front of the transmission. This is basically the same transmission dating back to the Model A days updated in 1939.
The linkage set up is specific for this type and the bigger 4spd that was an option in F-1s. The 48-50 F-1 transmission is popular in early Ford hot rods as it will bolt up directly to early flatheads and with the round housing, 49-53 engines. These top shift transmissions are also popular because they are open drive allowing a modern rear to be used on a pre-49 Ford car. The 226 H series flathead like you have was really a good engine.
It's listed as 95hp but many think it was actually higher. Ford did not want to have the base engine's hp higher than the more expensive 'flagship' V8 option. They did the same with the 4.9 FI six in the late 80s-early 90s. So the early six would GO even in stock form. It is a top loader that I will use in it. It has NO column.
So I will just use one that works with a top loader trans. I do have a front axle, rear axle, most of the brakes as well. Most of the body is there. But in sick shape.
The front clip is beat pretty badly and had a run in with a guy and some filler and chicken wire at some point. Lots to do there. And all I have of the bed is the sides and fenders. Luckily, I know where there are quite a few of these trucks layin around in a local yard. Now to actually get there with my busy shop.
