Mercury M68 box
Hey guys. So I am wondering if anyone out there has any information pertaining to the options for what a 1949 Merc M68 had for a box. The reason I ask is because I am in the process of trying to do a "registration for a vehicle in restoration". It says in the paperwork that it cannot be missing any major components such as doors, motor, pickup box etc. So I basically need some kind of proof that the truck came as a cab and chassis from the factory. I know that there was a few options for that year but I need something to prove to ICBC that this was the case. I currently do not have a box or flat deck on it. Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks again.

Thanks again Stu. That would be helpful as well. These insurance people can be a real pain. All I want is to register this truck in my name so I can start working on it.

While your vin applied to that linked chart should satisfy I think, here are the cab chassis data pages for the Ford equivalent from the 1951 Sales Handbook. Stu

I went through the same gong show of trying to get my F-47 put into my name, here in Manitoba a few weeks ago.
They couldn't grasp the idea that the last time the truck was registered, computers didn't exist.
They insisted there was no such truck as an F-47.
They tried telling me the serial number was invalid. Etc Etc Etc.
Finally after an entire day I went to a different department that put it into my name with a single phone call, and had no problem entering any of the trucks information.

Pete,
I agree about the tail light and liscense plate lamp. But BC just changed its motor vehicle act to allow classic cars to run without fenders to help out the hot rod movement. For a long time they deemed them necessary in the rainy Pac NW.
Good to see another BC build here. Hopefully will get mine finished this winter once the snow starts to fly.

Don't follow too closely on gravel roads . . . or hang your elbow out the window.
