I know there was a wealth of information on this site pertaining to mercury and canadian built ford trucks. The site comes up most of the links are dead. Anyone know what might have became of it? Different name maybe? Hopefully?

I bought my truck two years ago, and I think the site has been like that since I started googling around at that time. I assumed the links were never built?

Site got like that a few years ago, never heard why. Hopefully just a matter of somebody not maintaining links

I think the people who created the site have moved on to other interests. I purchased most of the 48 to 56 literature from one of the site participants. I also have a collection of service repair manuals and parts catalogs for 46 to 56 Canadian Ford and Mercury trucks. I am willing to help any one looking for information on these trucks. I also own a restored 51 F-1 and a 56 F-100 Canadian built Ford pick ups.

Thanks for that offer - I'm sure there will be some questions and it's good to have an idea of where to go.

Not sure what happened to that mercury site, seems like he dropped out a couple of years ago. There is another information thread on the '67/'68 mercs I put together that is still up, but the money grab by p/bucket screwed up my pics. I've got a bunch back up now and more in progress...

I maybe wrong here but I think the site was put up by McMillan's Cash & Carry Fibreglass Fender Sales in Owen Sound. Ontario. If someone called George at Pros Picks he would probably no.

The mercurypickup.com site was originally started by a guy in Washington state.
