The list implies (or says) that it covers all cars and trucks. I just wanted to be sure i wasn't missing something.

Richard, you are correct regarding the '48 truck engine. The chart doesn't address that difference. Ed's truck, however, is a '47, which does have the 59 engine.

I don't understand how that list can apply to '48 trucks which use the 8RT (8BA) engine.

The serial number that you posted is for a 1947 vehicle. The i is read as a 1. Your serial number should read 799A-1,426,816. The 59 is for an engine built between 1945 and 1948. Here is a link to the serial numbers by year of Ford products. http://www.vanpeltsales.com/FH_web/flathead_serialnumbers.htm
