I tought a few guys or gals here would like to see this... My dad is fully restoring his 1949 Merc M47 Pickup. This is kind of a rare truck but a really rare resto for him. He's putting back to bone stock because he has all the orginal parts, including the Canadian flat head motor. The Merc trucks from this era were all from Canada.

I'd not be surprised if he has over 1K hours in it. He's been working literally full time on it since Jan. to get it finished by the Back to the 50's car show in mid-June. But he doesn't think he'll make it in time.


Here are a few pics.






My favorite part is the interior. He spend so many hours on this. Including rebuilding the orig. heater box and duct work.
I love these gauges though.
