That's a cool truck.  Probably originally a Canadian truck as I think only Canada got the Mercury trucks.

I believe you are correct Gary..
This is where the people in the U.S. restoring 40's and 50's F-1's to F-8's got the idea of painting the front fenders black no matter what color the rest is.... That's a Canadian paint scheme.

Yes. It says it ships from Sweet Grass Montana, and the dealership was probably in Coutts (Canada).

I like it!
But it's too far for me even though I do have access to a new flathead, radiator and all else needed for 40's and 50's trucks.
