antp ◊ 2008-03-18 17:09	Depends how heavy it is... not pickup but chassis-cab if it is a light one, but seeing these rear wheels it seems quite heavy, isn't it?
pilou ◊ 2008-03-19 17:37	This is a 1948 Canadian Mercury M -series truck and it should be listed as of Canadian origin.It looks a medium-duty M 47 of 4700 pounds gross vehicle weight.The bigger heavy duty models had a larger cabin that had two additional vertical chrome strips at each side of the four grille bars.
vilero ◊ 2009-11-11 11:12	Post from 'contributions' by 'Billcasey' http://forum.imcdb.org/forum_topic-5431--M_47_Mercury_Truck.html#p Link to "forum.imcdb.org" Billcasey wrote [quote=Billcasey,35190]The M-47 Mercury Truck at the webpage below is not an M-47. In Canada in the late 1940's Ford and Mercury Trucks were given different designations than the US F-1, F-2, F-3 etc. They were given designations based on their Gross Vehicle Wieght(GVW). A half ton with a GVW of 4,700 pounds was called an F-47. A three quarter ton with GVW of 6,800 pounds was called an F-68. A Mercury half ton was an M-47....a three quarter ton an M-68 and so on. Attached is a page from a brochure for an F-68. You can see in the top left the reference to 6,800 GVW. The truck in the site below is a dual wheel truck but I cannot determine the actual model....but it is not an M-47 as indicated. Thanks Bill Casey billcasey45@hotmail.com /vehicles.php?make=Mercury&model=M-47&modelMatch=1&modelInclModel=on Billcasey wrote Further to my earlier email, I sent the wrong photo. Attached I hope is the correct photo of the Canadian brochure indicating the Ford F-68 and the reference to the 6,800 pound GVW. Bill Casey billcasey45@hotmail.com
