Quote In Canada, Ford used the first two digits of the GVW in the model name: so the half-ton, with a 4,700-pound GVW, was known as the F-47. Mercury trucks simply swapped out the F for an M, so its lightest haulers were known as M-47s. That changed in 1951 when Canadian trucks switched to the U.S. nomenclature and the Mercury trucks became M-1, M-2, M-3, etc. Production of Mercury trucks ended altogether in 1968. : https://www.hemmings.com/stories/article/1949-mercury-m-47
