The Canadian system used the GVW divided by 100 for the model designation. F-47 = 4700 GVW = F-1; F-68 = 6800 GVW = F-3 etc. I'm surprised we haven't see one like this before. There must also be some F-95's, F-110's, right?
Spectacular condition on this one! I don't doubt the fire equipment fitter was a Canadian company and sold to AZ.

Because of tariff's that existed between the US & Canada, Ford & Mercury trucks assembled in Canada were only sold new in Canada, were not available in the US.
When the tariff's were abolished in late 1967, Mercury trucks were cancelled.
It doesn't make any sense that a Canadian assembled truck would have been bought new by an AZ fire department.

My father in law sold fire equipment and trucks. They would buy chassis from any mfg and then refit it with the proper equipment. He use to say one of his best competitors in the early days was a Canadian company that had a USA division. They went belly up sometime in the mid fifties. So this could have been one of theirs.
