If you got that rare 50th anniversary horn Merc button then you just have to buy it!

I hope you get it! Good luck.

Do you have a flathead to put in it?

 

a few of my merc horn buttons, I do have a spare 8BA i have been setting aside for my 1950 F1.

 

That's purty looks like that mercury is destined to be yours. But it's eBay and the lazy second bidders are sneaky things. I looked into the importing from Canada but haven't found any solid answers. Everyone that I seen talk about it has no actual experience with bringing one in. One person says it's easy the next says it's a long pain in the rear to do it. I guess I'll have to do my own research on it.

 

The blue Merc backed into the shed looks to have B.C. Canada plates on it?
Lots of Mercs still around my area.

 

well at the time i did it it wasent a big deal at all bringing one in , i am not going to get my hopes up on this truck, it is funny that i have a place to put it in N D if i do get it. my wife is not very happy with my idea but we have been to this rodeo before.

 

actually its registered in california since i bought it in 1998 in Cranbrook B.C, i just put a B.C plate on the front, the personalized MRK MAN plates for it are still in the envelope.

 

Wow. I caught some 'Studes back there too. What engine and trans was in those GTB's?

 

Yeah......I think the stuff in the background is as cool as the Ford stuff.

 

2X. Anybody got a 59 Merc 2 door in their back yard?

 

So many good classics everywhere you look on your property.

No Mercs here but I sure wish I had a 1950 mercury 4 door in my yard always wanted one.

 

every thing thats stude or dodge on my property is my sons stuff, except for the 37 dodge pickup, my grand father bought that in 1940, and was my part time transportation from 1978 to 79, that is the only dodge that can go in my garage, he has his own home 3/10 of a mile from my house but its still all at my house, go figure?? the ford (burma) GTB trucks had the same motor as the ford G8T trucks, a 226 CID, they had a vertical dizzy in the front not used in civilian production, the transmissions are 4 speed type,

 

i use to be active on a web site called yesterdays tractors that no doubt you have heard of, i use to post a lot about cotton pickers there. my name there is "jess in ca" cotton pickers is another one of my favorite subjects, i use to pick for farmers and later for myself (with newer 2 row pickers) from 1978 to 81, eventually i want to do a book on early type pickers with all the info i have collected over the years,

 

At least your son has a home to go to...Mine goes to......my house. At least he doesn't drag stuff home.......like I do..lol.
After I read the Ford forums, I usually head over to Yesterday's Tractors for a bit. Lots of goodie over there, for sure.
We are a long way from cotton country here....but I really like those old ones like you have. I'm getting in line now to get a copy of that book.......when you write it.

 

i remember as a kid there were still some small farmers still using the tractor mounted 1 row pickers, but after high school they seemed to fade from the farm seene, i am trying to get 1 of each model, i will send you a PM and tell you more, Jess

 

well it went for a bit more than i was willing to pay, it brought $ 3,050, i hope it went to a good home and it dosent get rat rodded
