That's the normal set up. Must have been that they used up the old supply of axles on a random basis. When I get the R32-4 manual copied and sent to you, you will see that they listed both adapters into 1952. Here are pictures of what yours should look like. Stu

Joe, check your emails. I've gotten the manual copied and want to be 100% sure I have your name and address correct on the mailing label. Stu

There must be something about the Vancouver, B.C., area that attracted the rarest of M-Hs. Our member Kenjh lives nearby and has a 1954 Ford F-350 M-H that is, like your Mercury, the only one we know to have survived. You might get to know him.

Here's the pictures of your truck.

Love your truck! What size tires are on it in those pictures?
Thanks

Josh - Joe's truck looks to have the stock 7.50 x 17"s. They are noticeably smaller than the 20s that were pictured on my white truck when I bought it. The pictured red '52 F-3 M-H was also sitting on 20s. I don't know whether it has survived. It's an Alaskan truck that I lost track of when the old Bonus Built web site folded. Stu
