Ummm
I got a neighbor selling his 57 grain truck.
He bought it with the intent of using it as his only grain truck for a single quarter farm/acreage. But wife did not like the country life, so he has sold the farm and all machinery, but has a 1957 grain truck for sale.

I was going to buy it, but I already have 2 grain trucks with no farm combine or grain. LOL

He has to sell soon. He paid 1500 but knows he will take a big hit on it.
I figure 500-750 could get it.
It is a Mercury and has a deluxe cab (really nice chrome grille).
Y block, 2 speed rear end, dang nice 12X8ft wood box with good hoist.

 

Any idea of the engine condition and if it`s a 272 or 292?
I might be interested in the egine.

 

The motor burns oil, but is a strong runner.

Hi and welcome nanny3.
Sorry, I can`t help you as information on Mercury trucks seems pretty hard to come by but maybe someone will post an answer.
Sheldon, did you notice that this thread is is way over a year old?

 

I wish that was closer, I could use something like that at the farm.

 

My bad, did not notice, thanks Morris.

 

There`s still the odd one showing up at farm auctions Colin and I think they go pretty cheap.
Your getting almost as bad as me Sheldon but I have senor citizen`s moments to blame......

 

Me too, I didn't notice till after I posted. I wish those trucks came up at more auctions, they are getting to be a rare site down in this area.

 

If you would want to make a trip here I can try to keep you posted on any that are coming up.
Ryan usually knows more about auction sales with old farm trucks.

 

Yeah Ryan is the auction sale guy for sure, he gets tons of good deals and seems to find the best sales to go to.
