This 1950 Mercury M-47 1\/2 ton truck might have spent the past 35 years in a Canadian barn but thanks to Sean Getty in Ottawa, Ontario it will get a new lease on life.<\/p>\n

\"1950<\/a><\/p>\n

\"1950<\/a><\/p>\n

The project called MADDMERC started a little more than a year ago with the goal of debuting it at SEMA 2016. He chose the truck to represent his home country of Canada since this truck was primarily made and sold for the Canadian market. <\/p>\n

\"1950<\/a><\/p>\n

\"1950<\/a><\/p>\n

Since Sean is the owner of Getty Automotive Services<\/a> and Red Devil Racing<\/a> the truck couldn’t have some plain power pant. <\/p>\n

\"1950<\/a><\/p>\n

\"1950<\/a><\/p>\n

Originally he was going stuff a blown Mercury\/Ford flathead V8 in the truck but he changed his mind and went with a Dodge V10. The fact that he owns a numbered edition 2010 Viper ACR might have had something to do with the decision. <\/p>\n

\"1950<\/a><\/p>\n

Sean sourced a Gen 3 8.3 L (505 ci) V10 from a 2004 Dodge Ram SRT-10. The engine’s factory 500 hp (373 kW) and 525 lb-ft (712 N\u00b7m) of torque is more than enough to move the truck and scare the driver.<\/p>\n

\"1950<\/a><\/p>\n

\"1950<\/a><\/p>\n

Backing up the V10 is a Viper sourced T-56 six-speed manual transmission running to a Dana 60 rear end with 4.10 gears.<\/p>\n

\"1950<\/a><\/p>\n

\"1950<\/a><\/p>\n

Instead of a plain wooden bed Sean decided to cover it in coins in the shape of a Canadian flag and then epoxy.<\/p>\n

\"1950<\/a><\/p>\n

\"1950<\/a><\/p>\n

The truck might have spent nearly four decades unappreciated but now it can live out its years making smiles and turning heads.<\/p>\n
