Sounds good Wayne. The truck will be here first week in November I can take picks of what all is there. I know the hood chrome and merc on the grill are good plus it has the mercury radio delete. As soon as it gets here I will take some pics and post them for you. If you're interested we can...

No problem ray. I actually found a parts truck that I couldn't pass up. Bought a 52 mercury m3 today. Pretty rough shape but almost all there. Has a 255 in it good drivetrain and all the chrome is there but no tailgate again. Finally decided that I'm gonna fab up my own tailgate. Like you said...

Yes my truck is a f3 so I need the bigger tailgate. The only ones I've been able to find out here in Saskatchewan have had grain chute holes cut in them. And the hole always seems to be in the middle of the logo. It also seems that not many places carry repro tailgates for f3 or f2. Thanks for...

Hello everyone. I've been researching tailgates for my truck to make sure I get the proper one. Thought I was looking for one with the Ford script in the middle from 48-52. But some info I found shows me that in Canada in 51 they changed to block Ford logo. If anyone can give me help with this...

Thanks for tire info. I'm getting a rearend from a 68 f250. Plan to use those rims on the truck. Everything else on shopping list was no go. Just have to keep looking. On the plus side may have found parts trucks. Now just to convince the guy he needs my cash more then he needs two old trucks.

Off to the wrecker today on a parts hunt. today's shopping list. Tailgate, newer rearend, ignition with key, and some rims that are a little less dangerous but still 8 bolt. And a cigar lighter, the one piece missing from interior. Here's to hoping its a successful adventure. But if not its...

I'm out by Humboldt, Saskatchewan. Truck is local I am the third owner.

I got some more pics of it in my gallery I think. Thanks for all the support

I was pretty sure it's a 51 has the V8 above the grill and the three opening hood piece with the Ford in it. I will go take some more pictures and post them. Thanks for all the help.

The serial number is dfa83bhp-8055. The confusing part is the hp where the year should be. Paint code says 37. I'm told it originally was two tone red and black. Truck only has 35000 original miles. It got parked because buddies dad blew a wheel bearing and did Not want to fix. It's all...

Hi just picked up a 51 f3 for my latest project. The only info I'm having trouble sourcing is Canadian serial number decoding. I can find one site and the info there doesn't jive with my serial plate. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I'm 80 percent sure that the truck is all...
