LOL Darrell, since Chat a few know so the cat is out of the bag,, Bought another Mercury M-350 Custom Cab with 9' Bed, one owner bought new in 1966 Run and Drive as well. Going to Bruno, SK to pick it up once we go to Florida to deliver a truck on the 4th, then home for a day and figure which way going since I have several different ways of going to pick up our trucks.. Since our truck is not a stranger to Canada been to BC we wanted to be sure our passports are up to date, get our fuel cards ready to go out of the country and all pre maintenance today

Live from Butte, Montana

yes and they even let us back in the country,,, saw several Mercury's on SK # 7,,, then on 4 about 4 miles from the border blue/white Mercury long bed , let me tell you SK#4 is not the best road,, our driveway is better,,, had no problem bringing a truck across border

Darrell the owner knows where Merc Gate is but that person will not give it up



Dean,, Don did call e from Swift Current SK about the uni Mercury Truck

OK here is pic before we left the farm in Bruno, SK

12823

1966 Mercury M-350, His Dad bought it New 1966, Original 63208 miles, owners manual mint, Dash Pad is better than repos, we covered it so the Hot Nevada Sun did not kill it, Front Grill is better that new since it had a spare tire in the front of it, 300 6 cylinder 4 speed, Engine Heater, Kept in a Big Barn and very minor rust especially for a Canada Truck, below tail lights are little beat up, stains in front fender but not through and below is the truck we picked up in Vegas with a lot more parts you cannot see.

first going to look for different wheels, if not new tires since they date back to 1970 on being bias tires, yesterday I put a Ford Gate on it since that is all I had till I can find a Merc Gate or make one like I did on my 65, I seen the old farmer put a new carb on it, new plugs etc., battery terminals are a little rough, find someplace with 350 inserts or have some made, already had it DMV Inspected here so we can get the title and paid for that, tires is first,, once we do that we have a lot of brush etc. that can go , then load of wheels that are all ready, then see what else we can do,, I had about 12 tires in the back from out west yesterday and was nice all I did was raised the body up and all came out so that's it for now. maybe once we do all that will take the dump part off with PTO and install the bed back,, all future plans so far

The wheels have the big 6 lug bolt pattern
And the single wheel f350 is not the same offset as the dual
I decided to stick with the original 2-piece "widowmaker" wheels
Mine were not lock ring wheels...
not one shop in Salina would touch them
I finally found a Ag tire shop that would
Have driven it about 4000 miles with no issues
