    both of these are in a farmers ditch but the 49 international picku is very solid and mostly complete. The 48 or 49 merch is laying on it's side and appears to have been a rag top. Will try and get pics. Not sure what to do with them but may become good trading stock.

    Thanks

    Is that a KB-100 P'up? I don't know what years those are but they are great rod material.

    Don't have pics of the pickup yet. But went out a took some of the merc. Can anyone tell me for sure what year it is. Pretty rough but not beyond fixing. Any idea on what it is worth. Grill appears to be straight and all there.

    Is it worth getting it out of there.??? Pretty rough but looks like the frame, spindles and grill is still good.

    What ya guys think.

    Looks like it is a 4 door. The second pic is of the right side.

    Send that 4-door to Dave Paras aka Gl***guy. I am sure you have seen what he can do with a more door Merc.

    Virtually anything useable on that Merc is worth money, and it would be a crime to let it sit there and rust. The dash's are valueable, any useable/replateable trim, body panels (which are probably shot) The engine would be a 4" stroke flathead but it looks like it's missing, I think the rims are good hot rod stuff, so pretty much everything, if I had the chance I'd have it in an instant and part it out. There'd be an awful lot of thankful Merc owners if you rescued the good pieces off that one.
