HELP - I do not know what I have

Post by azscott »

Hi all,

I just purchased this in Tucson Arizona. I do not know what it is and would appreciate help. I am not sure if it is legit or if someone went to alot of trouble changing it over. Basically what I have looks to be a 1970 Mercury F100. The hood says Mercury, the tailgate says Mercury, the side emblems say Mercury 100 Twin I Beam and the dash says Mercury. But from what I have read, Mercury stopped making trucks in 1967. I am attaching photos. Please help.

Canadian version of the F100...some made it across the border like yours. Do you plan a resto?

:wel: from SoCal. As for your questions, they are being addressed in your other thread. Either way, I would keep that truck as a Mercury even if it is a re-badge job, as the Mercury trucks are the unicorns of the bumpsides. Very cool!

Decode your VIN Number. Somebody may have put a later style grill in the truck. If you could post pictures of the side's and interior of the truck that may help us decipher what year the truck actually is. So much stuff is interchangeable between years. Keep us up to date Mercury M100's are so cool.
