It is rusty on the shaft and not on the body. I remmember I had these door handles plated 35 years ago, not realizing that they were stainless, as this is a Canadian truck it must have had the stainless handles. I have some others around but can't find them as yet. Wonder if I can strip the plating some how.

My 52 Mercury M-1 pickup is quite decidedly Canadian, and it is the one that has the plated potmetal handles.

How did you end up with a Canadian truck, did it come from the west. I know a guy in Saskatoon who has a couple hundred truck on his farm and have asked him to look for a couple good stainless door handles.

If your friend in Saskatoon has a Mercury tailgate he'd be willing to part with, let me know. ;-)

Interesting, I spent a couple of days around Metaline, Wa. at the hydro station back in December and it looked like there were some older vehicles around. I will check with Saskatoon to see what he has, I was there a month ago and got 2 nice doors for my 52 but wasn't looking for tailgates.
