New to the forum here. Have a few old Fords and a Merc coupe. I added this 50 F1 to the stable. The original owner started to do a restoration and apparently lost interest. It passed through a few hands and I got it for $1500, with a lot of parts missing. I'm putting a 1949 Merc Flathead engine with Evans heads and an Offy three pot manifold and Stromberg 97's.

 

Hey Mercman
Good to see another '50 getting saved!
Was it that aqua color when you got it? Nice motor choice.

Nice looking truck love the 3 deuces on a flathead

 

Welcome! Sounds like you are up for the challenge of reassembly and enjoyment.

 

I love the color and the engine

 

I just noticed that you have a Car engine, Car motor mounts, and the Car-style two narrow belts. That's how mine is except I swapped to truck water pumps with the Car sheaves on them, so I can use the Truck motor mounts.

 

welcome to FTE. nice looking old truck... I really like that aqua color too...
