Hey there ,does anyone know if 1948-52 Mercury pickup parts are available? Thanks in advance for your help added 04/10/13 Would love to see pics of any Merc pickups up to '65. If you got one ...don't be shy!!
The trim, nameplates and such come up for sale everyonce and awhile on Eslay. Otherwise I know of no source for reproduction parts.
Unique trim is even rare in Canada... Try doing a search of Kijiji in Canada ( ebay Cl***ifieds to you yanks...)
You need to find someone in Canada. My dad did years ago and ended up with some nice parts. Some of the parts and grille were nos.
hmmm ok thanks guys. I'll keep an eye out on Kijiji . I guess you never know what might pop up. We never got Mercury stuff here in New Zealand even though a lot of our American based cars etc were made in Canada.
Some of the Ozzie "Star" model have the Meteor trim on them FYI as a lot were built in the Oakville Ont plant. The Mercury trucks never made it there I think. The year/body style is different most of the time than the N American versions by a year or two as we used old tooling/parts up. Ozzie 64 Fords have Edsel dash clusters( lots of them spare back then LOL)
anybody got a Mercury pickup? Please post up some pics if do,would love to see 'em!! up to 1965 only tho
A bit of Mercury truck trivia. Besides Canada, Mercury-badged trucks (Canadian-built and exported I ***ume) were also sold in Mexico. And last year, on a trip to Cuba, I spotted a couple of (I'm guessing, also Canadian-built and exported) mid-50's vintage M700 'big trucks', still on the road and in daily use there too. One of the Cuban M700's I saw even had a rare factory-available Marmon-Harington 4-wheel-drive conversion package still intact and working although the original Y-block V8 gas engine was long gone and replaced with a (former) East German-built, I.F.A. inline diesel truck engine.
