don't really want a project truck but...

I posted a rotting '63 merc Pickup in "Sitting and Rotting" I checked the niumbers, It is a 4speed "P" code engine which I think is a Police 390 engine.

Is this worth $350? It's an F350 last ran 5 years ago, off the rd since 1992

 

Buy It. Its a classic merc that can be fixed... Look at my.last buy and see how cheap that one your looking ay is... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=723220

 

I'd think it was well worth 350 In US or your dollars. Scrubbed up and running and driving it will make someone a pretty good work truck that can tow something. for enough extra cash in the kitty to push one of your projects ahead a bit.

 

Haven't seen it in person, but rat eaten seat, smashed windshield... Dunno. If the guy responds I'll look after work.

 

for that price i would have another project. i dont need one, but i would probably have one. i love pickups...i say go for it.

 

I don't think you can go wrong at that price. Plus old trucks are cool!

 

I seriously doubt it has a 390 Police engine from the factory. I believe they didn't start putting the FE series motors in those trucks until 1965 and then only 352s. That was when they changed the front suspension to the Twin I beam and had a totally different crossmember to mount the motors. No 390s were factory installed until 1967 or 1968. 1965s also had the newer style bed that matched the cab design. If it's a V8, it should be a 292 Y block.

But still a Mercury truck is cool - in the U.S. anyway...

 

It's worth $350 over the scale at the scrapyard. People kill me sometimes.

 

Yeah I don't know.. That's what the interweb said when I put in "P code engine 1963"

I realy don't have room, but I'm hoping to figure something. or if anyone else on the island wants it I'll give you the link.. It's in Royston

I don't mind if someone else gets it.. just hate to see it scrapped or go to the wrong type of builder.
