Default Ford parts?

Are these Ford V8 powered? Aw heck, now I'm going to have to find one of these!
The steering wheel is from a 1938/39 Ford truck and the steering column is from 1937/38/39 column shift 1/2 ton truck. The speedo is from a 37/38 truck and of course the brass plates the switches are on are from a Ford CMP.
My guess is that Mr Bombardier cannabalised a 1938 or 39 truck to build these, but the engine number is very similar to the sequence for a 239in mercury engine, so perhaps he obtained his components from the Ford factory?
