Little slow but it gets the job done...... great ole truck

 

Painted it last two days

 

Lookin good man & welcome to FTE

 

Found this pic on facebook. Wish I could say it was mine...

It's news to me that Mercury was in the medium duty game.

 

Looks like its all there & drivable

 

Awesome old truck! Would like to know the story on the mercury part

 

Must be a Canadian truck, Ford used to sell trucks in Canada under the Mercury badge. The bottom of the door seems bent out but other than that it looks to be in great shape.

 

You nailed it Justin, reps

 

 

Could have sworn I posted a few pictures in here....

Moving my '78 parts truck around


'86 crew I was getting moved to pull engine & trans.





Small load of hay I picked up last year with it.

 

anymore canadian guys with mercurys out there ?

 

Might as well post my trucks up here as well. I bought these trucks so I can collect Granite from the local quarries to use in the work I do.


Louisville LN8000 6V53 10 speed RR Eaton single speed rear.





And my Kenworth K125 being restored. Cummins VT903 15 speed RR 44 000lb Rockwell rears on Torsion bars

 

Interesting pair. If you aren't deaf already, you will be. I rebuilt way too many 53s. LOUD.

 

Put a Jake Brake & straight pipes on the VT903...everyone will know when you are on your way home miles before you pull into the driveway.

 

Here are some more guyz, please have a look:
