Sounds like it may be for a pre-49 engine. These had a combination
breather/oil fill tube at the back of the engine, and nothing at the front.

Thanks for the great info. on finishes for my oak bed. Did anybody
use a wood sealer first? I've heard that this should be used before
finishing. If so what kind? How long after sealing can you put on the
finish? I greatly appreciate all the experienced advice.

In regards to the post on the pre-61 list a 1956 Mercury is different than =
a ford only in trim and where it was made. The Mercury trucks were only =
made in Canada, there's chrome Mercury letters on the front of hood, =
Mercury M100 side emblems, Mercury horn button, and Mercury tailgate, also =
there are Mercury taillight lenses there the shield style with raised =
Mercury letters on them. Also the VIN tag has on it Ford Motor Company of =
Canada and none of the vin codes match any of the Ford books as far as =
breakdown. I have a 56M100 that I'm contemplating selling. I have =
located another one in Canada that I may purchase.

56Merc from the chat room.

Subject: FTE Pre61 - Used Auto Parts On-line

I recently found a web site www.autop.com, which allows you to input a
part description and forwards your request to dozens of salvage yards
across the country. They respond by e-mail. That sure beats trecking
from yard to yard looking for hard to find parts.

I just entered two requests, I'm anxious to see if I get any response.

Has anyone tried this or another service like this?
