Smile Found a 51 M1

I found a 51 M1 with a ford cab the other day. I had a good look at it and other than the a hole in the drivers door and some surface rust I could not find anything. It has a few dings and the wood in the bed is rough but it is straight and all there except for the seat. The guy is asking $2000.00 for it. I kinda know the guy so he is going to keep it for awhile so I just have to make up my mind one way or the other.

Does sound neat but 2000 is a bit steep but i guess it depends on how badly you want it and if its in good shape

Nice find! The only thing different between a Ford and Mercury cab would be the radio delete plate. I might be prusuaded to part with my spare one if you show us pictures!

Sorry no pics yet. It is not running right now and I am not sure if the motor is frooze or not, couldn't turn it with the fan. The up side is the water pumps are not frooze and are not leaking and the rad is full of antifreeze. Also there are no signs of mice anywhere.

Dueller, is was thinking of you when he told me about and was checking your forsale threads after I looked at it.

Och, a 302 with double the Flattie hp is plenty good enough with today`s gas prices.

But a 460, with double that 302's hp, is just fun

Not to mention tires as well. I'll be happy with a 250 hp 302 and a 500 hp 460 is too tempting to not punish other vehicles.
