Colonel  Flashman's '58 Mercury M-100 "Wee Beastie"

'58 Mercury M-100 truck w/ 312c.i. I-6 with a C-4 transmission.  The "Wee Beatsie" was Uncles ranch truck for 40 years out in Reubidoux, CA.  Father inherited the "Olde Girl", drove her a tick & then asked if I wished to trade my '58 F-350 for her, she be easier for me to drive. Of course I said yes. She originally had a 223c.i. and Merc-O-Matic, due to the fact mechanics these days Do Not know how to work this type of engine & tranny I opted to up-grade the "Wee Beastie" w/ a '64-'72 series, 300c.i. I-6, built by "Olde Man" Johnson @ JMS Racing Engines w/ a matching built C-4 by John's A.T.S. Inc., both out of Monrovia, CA.

Cheers,

Colonel Sir Harry Flashman V.C.  San Gabriel Valley CA
