1951 Ford Other Pickups

1951Mercury M1 Short Bed Pickup Truck. This is an un-restored barn find truck. Original Flathead V8. A very good candidate for a full restoration due to rarity and minimal body rust. Selling withNo Reserveto the highest bidder. Contact must be made within 24 hours of the auction ending or it will be assumed that you have no intention of honoring your bid and the truck will be offered to others. Zero Feedback bidders must make contact prior to bidding.
It has a remarkably solid body, it is mostly rust free with no repairs or bondo. All of the paint is original, this truck has had zero bodywork done to it. The floorboards are incredibly good with the only rust being where the cab mounts are. The drivers side cab corner is good and the passengers side cab corner has only minor rust through. The front fenders where these trucks are prone to corrosion have some rust but not as bad as is often seen. The bed sides have none of the usual rust ahead of the rear fenders which is good to see. The wooden bed floor is rotted away so will need replacing. All Mercury emblems are present and in very nice condition. There are very few dents for an un-restored farm truck of this age with the worst being on the drivers side rear fender. The original Mercury tailgate is in decent condition with no rust. Overall this is a very good all original example of a highly sought after Mercury M1 truck. The original paint and rather solid body gives it a very nice look.
The interior is complete minus the seat and ingood condition for its age with a nice dashboard.
This truck rolls and steers freely for ease of loading onto a trailer or moving into a shop. All tires hold air. The original flathead V8 is seized and will need replacing. The radiator is also missing.
Due to the much smaller Canadian market, Ford of Canada only sold approximately one tenth as many trucks as Ford did in the US and around two thirds of those were Ford's leaving the remaining third to be Mercury's. So very few of these trucks were produced and it is becoming much harder for us to source nice original and complete examples such as this. Due to Canada's harsh climate only a handful remain today.
This will make a great project being that it is a rare and highly desirable truck with minimal rust to contend with compared to most examples. It deserves a fresh motor and bringing back to life. Selling withNo Reserveto the highest bidder.

You may find this very preferable over dealing with brokers and the nonsense that goes along with that.

who we are and what we do

We are two brothers who seek out original trucks and cars from all across Canada, specializing in vehicles from the 40s, 50s and 60s.

Most American barn finds have long since been found and tampered with by multiple owners; North of the border there still seems to be an abundance of good, solid, original vehicles, waiting to be brought back to life.​

We make thesevehicles available to the US market by taking care of importation and providing all paperwork required to obtain a ClearUS Title, in your name and home State.​

We are passionate about finding the best there is and understand that our customers wantto see automobiles that have not been tampered with; The more original, the better.​

Our inventory is regularly updated, as new finds are unearthed. If there is something specific that you are looking for, then let us know and we'd be happy to see if we can help.​

The business we conduct is straightforward and honest. Whether you're looking for something that'sall original, a starting point for a restoration project or the bones for a custom build, Bison Brothers are here to help.
