Description of 1950 Ford Other Pickups |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
1950 Mercury M68 (Ford F3) Pickup Truck. The rare 48-50 Mercury equivalent of Ford's F3 were designated as an M68 due to the 6,800 lb gross vehicle weight. This is an un-restored solid barn find truck. Original Flathead V8 partially disassembled and in need of a full rebuild or replacement. A very good candidate for a full restoration due to rarity and very minimal rust. Selling withNo Reserveto the highest bidder. Contact must be made within 24 hours of the auction ending or it will be assumed that you have no intention of honoring your bid and the truck will be offered to others. Zero Feedback bidders must make contact prior to bidding. It has a very solid, mostly rust free body with no repairs or bondo. All of the paint is original, this truck has had zero bodywork done to it. The floorboards are exceptionally good with no rust through, only light surface rust. The cab corners are rust free. The front fenders where these trucks are prone to corrosion are incredibly solid with the only signs of rust showing where the fenders meet the running boards. The bed sides have the usual rust ahead of the rear fenders but this is very minor and flat steel so easily repaired. It had a PTO driven hoist fitted to the bed as with the majority of prairie farm trucks from this era but this has been removed by the farm that owned it before it was sold to us meaning the bed is currently just sitting on the frame and will require remounting correctly during the restoration. This is why the rear fenders are not bolted to the running boards as they should be. Also as with all trucks that have been fitted with a hoist/dump bed the rear of the frame has been shortened by a foot but this can easily be put back to the original length using the correct gauge C section steel or a 1 foot section of frame from a donor truck, no cross-members have been removed. All Mercury emblems are present and the Mercury specific grille is in very good condition. Overall this is a very good solid and all original example of a first generation Mercury M Series pickup truck. The interior is complete and ingood condition for its age with a nice dashboard. The Mercury radio blank panel is in very good condition and not broken as is often the case. The Mercury horn button is also present. This truck rolls freely for ease of loading onto a trailer or moving into a shop. Due to the much smaller Canadian market, Ford of Canada only sold approximately one tenth as many trucks as Ford did in the US and around two thirds of those were Ford's leaving the remaining third to be Mercury's. So very few of these trucks were produced and it is becoming much harder for us to source nice original and complete examples such as this. Due to Canada's harsh climate only a handful remain today. This will make a great project being that it is a rare truck with very little rust to contend with. It has been very well preserved in a dry climate. Selling withNo Reserveto the highest bidder.
