I have a 1947 ford half ton which has had the engine rebuilt by Ford. There is a tag on the engine but I'm not sure what it means. Does anybody have an idea of what this tag means. I have a picture of it attached.

Get your Ford chassis parts catalogue out. Each one of the 4 digit numbers that is not hand stamped on the tag represents the part numbers that were used to rebuild the engine. I can't make out the first two numbers 6211 -- rod bearing 6303 -- crankshaft 6331 -- crankshaft bearing-main 6333 -- crankshaft bearing-intermediate The stamped numbers in the front are the year prefix and the stamped numbers at the end are the size prefix. If you have a Ford chassis parts catalogue (Green Bible or individual year) you should be able to find the numbers there. Hope this helps -- I am not an expert about this, but do know some information about the rebuild tag.

If it is a tag, not a stamped number, it probably was rebuilt at some time by an "authorized Ford rebuilder". The info wouldn't correspond with any Ford catalog.

This may be stretching my knowledge here, but I believe that the C is for Canadian, the 59 is the year designation (1946-47) and then the T, I believe stands for truck. Ford used alpha characters to designate sizes. As Supereal mentions, RS maybe a Ford authorized re-manufacturing code.

You have to remember Ford wanted all of your business. They had small authorized re-manufacturing plants all over the US and probably Canada too. The idea was to bring your Ford back for service -- they would sell you a re-built generator, water pump, carburetor, starter, transmission, and engine at very reasonable costs. You no doubt have a Ford rebuilt engine and the tag lets you know that. Most of the other parts had a decal instead of a tag.
