Not many of these trucks survived, there is thought to be less than ten of this exact model left in the world. Not only is it a 1947 Mercury pick up, it is a V8, Long bed, ONE TON pick up. Most one tons were flat beds, most pick ups were beat into the ground and very few made it down here from Canada. This truck is in unbelievable condition. It was bought and put into a barn over forty years ago. That is what saved it from being abused and saved it from rusting. Please notice the condition of the bed rails! This truck was never worked hard, very few dents and scrapes...the bed rails are very straight. This truck has surface rust due to NEVER having been repainted, but has very minimal actual rust. The truck is original, untouched and very complete. The only two things needed to restore this truck are an original seat and a clean gauge cluster....both of which I have and am including in this auction. I also have a cleaner grill assembly that will be included. Only ONE of the grills goes with this truck. I am willing to change it out for the cleaner one, but will not let them both go. I have a second cab that I need the grill for. Please look at the pics, they tell the truth. The signs on the doors are only magnets and will pull right off. I have all five original 17 inch wheels. I have the Canadian title to match the VIN. I own a Street Rod shop in Central Florida and can complete a restoration for a fee if desired. I have also considered building this truck as a custom. If it doesn't sell this listing, I will make a Street Rod out of it. I know it deserves to be restored, but it would make a great patina'd custom. Contact me with any questions or to come see the truck in person.
