Another new guy. From Ont. Canada

Yup, Another new guy to this forum. I heard about this site on the Ford barn site so took a quick look around. I'm hoping to get some answers to the questions that I will have during my trucks restoration.
I've got a 1949 M-47 Mercury pickup. Orignally a Western Canada truck. Good solid truck and most parts were on it. Some of the trim that was missing I already had from looking for parts for a 1948 M-47 that I traded to get this '49 M-47. I'm no computer guy but hope to be able to bumble my way around. My thanks ahead of time for any help you can provide.
Any other Merc truck guys frequenting this site ?

Welcome aboard Greg but quit buying up our Western Canadian trucks.......Just kidding of course, it`s good to see them going to a good home.
Most of not all answers are in the 1948 - 1960 F1, F100 And Larger F-Series Trucks forum: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum41/
The odd time there are afew Mercury guys on there.
Also be sure to visit your local Ont. chapter soon: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum93/

Hi Fomoco, This Merc has been in the southern Ontario area for a while. Spent some time near Toronto and then in Chatham . I'll have to check out the Ont. chapter when I get a chance.
The best old trucks come from the western side of Canada. Sure is nice to be able to undue nuts and bolts instead of cutting and grinding them off. I've only had a few so far that I had to drill or cut. Way better than the normal rust buckets that are around here.Thanks for the info.
Greg
