Mercury – other models: Canadian trucks from the Ford brand, F600 and M600, six- and eight-cylinders with 3.65-litre displacement, gross weight 8,172 to 8,853 kg
Between 1946 and 1968, Mercury was Ford's Canadian truck brand, under which vehicles built in Canada with the same technical base as the contemporary Ford ranges were sold; the M600 model listed here is the Mercury counterpart to the Ford F600 in the medium-duty 600 series. As was common at Ford, Mercury trucks usually differed from their Ford counterparts only in grille, badging and trim details, while the chassis, engine and running gear stayed shared. This page gathers the versions the register could not assign to a named range.

The register lists 2 versions here with six- to eight-cylinder engines of 3,650 cc, kerb weights from 4,920 to 6,560 kg, gross vehicle weights from 8,172 to 8,853 kg, a length of 6,850 mm and widths from 2,300 to 2,350 mm.
600-class trucks were medium-duty working vehicles for agriculture, construction and distribution haulage in the North American market, where Mercury ran as a standalone sales channel alongside Ford in Canada until the brand withdrew from the truck segment in 1968 to focus solely on passenger cars.
For a used example of these now rare vehicles, check for rust on the chassis and cab, engine and gearbox condition, the operation of the brake system, and parts supply, which draws on the shared parts base with the contemporary Ford ranges and the collector market.
