We would all like to see your Merc. That's a big part of what this thread and forum are about.

It seems awkward, but whenever you "insert a picture" to one of these threads, the forum is looking for the picture somewhere on the web (which is always available) rather than from somewhere on your hard drive (which isn't always available).

Go to Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket and sign up for a free account. Then create an album for your truck. Upload any pics you want to post on FTE to that album. Have this album open on your computer when you want to post pics on FTE.

While you're making a post on FTE, select the pic you want to post from your Photobucket album. When the large version of the pic is open, right mouse click on it and select "View Image Info". The image info will be highlighted and will look something like this:
http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...ghtsafter1.jpg

Copy that highlighted info (right click / copy).

When you have the spot in your post where you want the pic to be placed, select the "Insert Image" icon at the top of the post (looks like a mountain) and paste (right click / paste) the image info you copied in the highlighted box (just shows "http://" when it opens).

Your pic will be placed in the post.

Hope that helps.

Drove from Lillooet BC to Cache Creek to Lytton Bc to home in Port Coquitlam.
35c didn't overheat once over all those mountain hills.
Guess my repairs worked. Carb needs a good cleaning, need a new fuel sender,
New cap, rotor, points and wires. And a new coil.
I can get these easy at home.
Enjoy.....

Welcome to FTE 51M1.

You should start a thread for your truck. It's great to hear you have it running. None of the links you posted are working.

Lets see if I followed your instructions correctly. If I did this correctly you should be able to see a picture of my Mercury Truck

Thanks for the pictures 51M1! Yours is a very neat truck and I am glad to hear that it is running well.

Had this 46 Merc for about 6 years. Unrestored but well taken care of. Mercury trucks are quite common in Canada.





Also have this one for sale.
