Mercury/Ford interchangability

Hey guys,

I have been looking at a 1968 Mercury M-100 2wd truck for sale. I hesitate to buy it because i am worried about parts availability. The engine and rear end are from an 85 crown vic so thats no worry, but i am not sure about steering and front brake parts.

Are all steering and brake parts on the M-100 Interchangable with those of the Ford F-100?

Any other hard to find parts i should be concerned about? I plan to use the truck as a daily driver.

The Mercury trucks are Canadian made Ford trucks. AFAIK The only difference in them and the American made F series is the badging. Any part other than the Mercury or M100 should exchange fit.

Yes John is correct.

Mercury ...is... Ford.

Only badging and trim is different. all mechanical and sheet metal (except tailgate) is the same.

Yep I agree the only diff is the badges, I have a 69' Mercury Cougar and just about all same year or so Mustang Parts inter change as far as the running gear is concerned.
