So my dad was telling me that his 79 ltd II has a 351m in it. when he went in to get a fuel filter in the 80's it turned out the fuel filter was for a truck motor. i wanted to know if anyone knew anyhting about thoes maybe having truck motors in them.

The fuel filter goes in the carb on those 2v carbs, correct? Someone could have swapped it.

Wouldn't make any difference anyway. 351m are the same weather in a truck or car. Minor differences in carbs, distributor, oil pan, and manifolds, etc.

anything can happen i bought a new ranger in 94 and i bought from the dealer and i special order it was there when came off the truck, after 2 months of waiting, and with in a year found out they had the wrong size rims on it, it had a 93 front end,(brake cailbers where different) and had 94 explorer wipers on it (they where longer), and i found out this also my 1973 ranchero was suppose to have a 9 inch rear end it has a 8 inch from and 72 and my father bought this brand new from the dealer in late 72. so i think when they run short on parts they use what they have on hand to complete the auto/truck
