Old time big trucks
I found some old time "big truck" pics while surfing the web. There's even a few Fords in there.

Me too!
There's a tanker company here in New Jersey that had a huge fleet of brand spanking new 1960 F-1100 "Super Duty" Custom Cabs. I'd hate to think that they've all been crushed.
BC is a beautiful place!

Mercury Trucks
Some of the pictures in this link reminded me of something I have wondered about for some time. I have seen several Mercury trucks while traveling in Canada, but have never seen any down here in the States. Could someone please enlighten me as to why FMC would have built & sold trucks under the Mercury name in Canada but not in the U.S.?
Perhaps this has been addressed elsewhere, but I have just missed it.
Thanx,

Some very nice old tractors.
But, that was before the days of air ride, so I'd have to pass on driving one with a load on all day...

Re: Mercury Trucks
Hi donner,
I remember reading somewhere that it had to do with marketing, and the pre-signing of a trade agreement between Canada and the U.S.
DainBramage,
I hear you on the air ride! I think once in a while would be fun though.
Andysutt,
Sounds like a great project. How far along are you?
