Finally found some pictures of my Mercury truck

Here are some pictures of my Mercury truck ( a little over restored ) Not a traditional rod but too nice of condition not to restore. Sometimes you just don't want to cut them up.......... Kyle

 

Neat.

 

I like it.

 

Hey man, don't be so apologetic, that is one helluva cool and rare truck. I dig it!

 

That sure is a sweet looking truck. What were the differences between the Mercury truck and the Ford version, was it more of an extra option type deal, different drive train options, or???

 

I'd drive the wheels off of it! NICE!

 

Diggage here too. I like it.

 

"anybody can restore a car,takes a man to chop one up" Posie.........Seriously nice truck,love to find one of those tailgates

 

Thats a beauty. Im in agreement, thats too nice to not restore!

 

Mercman1951 Some of the differences are (mostly) the trim and emblems for example the grill on a custom cab 55 Ford has the trim on the top of the grill Mercs have trim on the top and the bottom on Fords the star means 6 cylinder Mercs have a star on the grill but it is a Mercury only star (non reproduced) item and it has the V8. Mine has the 256ci Y block in it that was used in the Merc cars. Mostly trim and value. When I went to insure it they wanted to value it as a "high end" Ford truck and I told them Hell no I want it valued as a Mercury and they made me go and get it appraised. And the appraiser had never seen one before and he asked me what I thought it was worth................Kyle

 

I love it! Very nice.

 

very nice looking truck

 

nice ride thanks

 

You definitely did the right thing by bringing it back to origional . Not everything has to be modified. That's a sweet looking old truck, keep it in the shape it is in now and you'll never be sorry.

Great truck! The Mercury trucks were built and sold only outside the USA, in Canada, Mexico, Central and South America and perhaps elsewhere.

 

I love that truck!

 

Just comes to show, not all cool Mercs have to have frenched headlights and a chopped top !

 

Beautiful truck!!! I live right on the border with Canada and i remember seeing Mercury trucks over here fairly often when i was a kid. I always thought they were better looking than their American counterparts. Maybe it was just because they were different. I stumbled across this pic somwewhere on the net and realised i had never seen a Mercury truck from the '40's. I really like the grille better than the American Fords.

 

I love those and the one belchfire8 posted is awsome. The grille is great!

 

Nice!

 

nice truck, it would be a shame to cut that up.



although it would make one hell of a custom

 

Not traditional?? What do you think they hauled those model As to bonneville in?? Nice!!

 

I like it...

 

I dont think the dog likes it.......

 

Very nice...you dont see many M-100s

 

Way cool. Drive it like you stole it!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

That's clean!

 

Very nice and to rare to ever chop it up. Its been over 50 years since I have seen one and yours is very nice from the pictures.

 

I feel like a two year old because, I want it, I want it, I want it!!!

 

My Dad was HUGE into F-100's back in the 80's There was a guy out of Nebraska that had a wild 55 Merc PU and an even wilder 55 Merc Panel. If I remember correctly the both had blown Big Blocks. They were really unique in a sea of F-100's I remember he had a really hard time finding good trim.
