1952-59 Ford Are we able to talk about Mercury?

I have a 52 Ford that I just went and grabbed a instrument cluster for the other weekend. At the yard was a 52 Mercury, I think the dashes are so cool in those Merc’s. Do those dashes bolt into the 52 Ford?

 

Yes they can,grab it ! Make sure you get all the cables with it and the surrounding moldings.

 

Pictures please =)

 

Here is the dash. I’m going to try and grab the parts and then save it for another winter project. There are other trim parts that I’m going to try and grab from the car, like the side lower quarters trim trim spears and all the door panel trim.

 

get everything, all the way around and up to the windshield

 

Never saw one of those. Keep us posted with pics as you remove and install it.

 

I have seen some early Canadian Fords that used the Mercury dash in pictures but the names of those models escape me at present. It isn't always easy to find a Merc-O-Matic steering column either,guys that want a column shift with a C4 or AOD swap love those.

 

Actually it's a 53 (gold not silver) The Canadain was a Meteor, They also ran the flathead thru 54

 

Looks like there's all kinds of old cars in that yard. What else do they have?

 

I'm putting a 54 mercury dash in my 53 ford. Get the mercury garnish mouldings as the ford ones are shaped differently.

 

He had a bunch, 5-6 of 52-54 cars. He had a crown Vic. He has a bunch of 49-51, some old caddy. There was a lot there.

 

Is that Zack Rudy's place in Harvard,Nebraska ? I've sent some Ford guys there on facebook.

 

Yes, it is. He has a bunch of stuff.

 

Look for some good hood hinges 1952-54 Ford & Merc interchange I think he may have some but wasn't into pulling them

 

Last time I was there, everything he had in hinges had been torched to get the hood open
