I have an unfinished 1965 Mercury truck project that a friend wants to buy. I'm hoping my fellow readers can help me with values for the two main components. The first is a complete(hood, grille, fenders,doors) disassembled cab in perfect condition ready for paint. The second part is a 6 foot...

Looking for 1949-51 mercury floor pan from seam to the left of gas tank filler to right side of spare tire housing area and front to rear from lockstrip up to top of riser. The small 1949-51 Lincoln pan may be the same or similar. Thanks for looking, Lefty.

I have an nos 51 mercury 2 door quarter panel in good shape that I don't need. I haven't seen one for sale recently and don't know if they repo them so just trying to get some idea of demand and value. Thanks for your time. Lefty Rodan

Year ago at Hershey if memory serves correctly, a guy from the Midwest claimed to have cast a dual intake for the 49-51 Mercury 885 carbs. He said the carbs mounted sideways and operated off of a bell crank linkage set up like that use in Ford six cylinder trucks in the 70's. Mounting carbs...

re: wiper vacuum source After reading the discussion on boosting wiper vacuum isn't there a 12 volt electrically powered vacuum canister available? I'm looking at replacing my vacuum wipers in my 50 merc but it would be a lot easier work wise and possibly cheaper to hook up an independent 12...

I need a solid passenger door for my 1949 mercury coupe. I'm wondering if I can use a 1950 coupe door which I already have. I know the locks and jambs are different but will this work with door popper locks? Thought I'd ask for advice before I go through the process of swapping the doors...

Hi: The front body brackets on my 49 merc project are rusted out. These are not the bolt-thru brackets that secure the body to frame but the brackets to which the floor pan is welded. Off the top, I'd estimate the horizontal part is 10 inches long and the vertical leg is about 6 inches long...

A friend of mine was looking at my flathead motor on the engine stand and remarked that while the motor was quite neat looking the oil filter seemed rather unsightly and "in the way". He suggested I move it for appearance sake to another location. It's the factory oil system setup. Can I...

Hi Guys" I have a set of 1949/50 Lincoln hubcaps that I wanted to use on my 50 mercury. They're are clean and simple but more appealing to me than the stock caps. However, much to my surprise the stock mercury 15" rims are a little too big to hold these caps. The do seem to seal up pretty well...

Hi again: I'm open to suggestions/advice on how to go about installing three point seat belts in my 50 merc coupe. Anyone done this? Safety trumps originality for me. Thanks for your help. Lefty Rodan

I'm looking for factory green engine paint for my 1950 Mercury engine but the smallest quantity I can find is in the quart size which is probably enough to do ten engines. Anyone know of a source for a pint or spray can that's a reasonably close match with the green found on the 49-51 merc...

1951 Mercury chrome on steel headlight rims believed to be nos. They are not perfect if held under an electron microscope but certainly good enough to enter on your car at Hershey. They are beauties. I can't figure out how to enter photos on this site but can email pics if interested. Lefty Rodan

I have a rebuilt Canadian 276 cu inch engine with the three oil port configuration. I 've heard various explanations for this including that it was part of a block heating arrangement, that it was for a second filter and that it was part of a remote filter set up. All ports were factory drilled...

Can anyone help with identifying the applicable year/model when Ford used the 12volt 1 AR 10K-62 overdrive solenoid? It roused my interest because unlike all the other solenoids in my stash it has a partially slanted top cover. Thanks for your help. Lefty Rodan

All the 4 " Mercury cranks are sold. Thanks guys. Lefty Rodan

1949-53 ford mercury 6 volt overdrive solenoid manufactured by RBM. It was tested in a 1950 mercury o.d. transmission and worked properly. I will guarantee this for a period of ten days from date of shipment. If it proves faulty during that period I will refund your purchase price only after it...

For sale is a Mercury 4 inch crank that I personally removed from a 255 cu. inch 8cm engine. The counterweights measure 6 1/16+ across and the sludge traps are 5/8" in diameter. The traps were polished and new plugs installed. The machinist is an old flathead guy who has truned more than 4000...
