I realize that. But I suspect the Canadian trucks came with electric wipers a model year before the US built trucks. Thus, I want to hear from other Canadian owners of 1950 model trucks.
Or rather, owners of 1950 trucks built by Ford of Canada.

Reason: added last sentance.
I made a conscious decision to not post this in 48-60 forum before I began the thread.
Others have gone there with questions regarding Canadian models, and nobody has been able to answer them. The Canadian Mercury parking lights and chrome trim even seem to be stumpers.
As you probally know the earlier 47-50 Mercury trucks just had different front sheetmetal than the Ford trucks. The 51-68 trucks just had the different trim. If the Mercury had electric wipers the Ford's had it too. There has been guys with electric wipers on their 48's. If anything Ford of Canada was behind the US. We never got a I-6 engine till '1957 while they had it in the 40's. The only thing the Ford of Canada did better was they made a full flow oil filter system for the flathead V-8's for 2 years. You are best posting in the 1948-60 forum as Mil1ion has stated. BTW I have 2 51 Mercury M-3's.

I have seen too many 56 Ford trucks with the 6 cylinder, don`t know if they were Canadian built or not. The 6`s could have started in 55 as that is when the 272 V8 was sold in Canada.

=====================================
my 1949 Mercury M155 3ton has one wiper and
an electric motor
That is the same model wiper motor on my 41 IHC,,although the "V" identifies the length of the shaft, mine is WWA6C, shorter shaft. My neighbour is using a Hough wiper motor that fits fine in his 46 ford truck. I don't have a Merc yet but I have a start,,gotta 52 Merc tailgate.
