Laughing Coyote Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Hello,I'm looking to change out the body mounts on my 61 Mercury Meteor and I'm finding that no one carries them. Is there a a ford model that uses the same size mounts? It's the full size model.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Commodore Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I would say that 1961 Ford Galaxie mounts would work as your Meter 800 is just a modified Ford.See is link for info on 1961 Ford Mounts.http://www.network54.com/Forum/74182/thread/1270934395/1961+Starliner+body+boltsLink for Dennis Carpenter.http://dennis-carpenter.com/default.aspx?tab=cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Have you ever talked to John at Big M in Williams, California? There is a website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laughing Coyote Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 I have talked with John and actually bought parts from him. Nice guy. Been trying to reach him the past couple of days and can't get him on the phone. I'll keep trying though. Has a few other parts I've been looking at. I tried Mac's, Obsolete, Dennis Carpenter and a couple of Mercury only parts places. Nada. Thanks for the info so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTX5467 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 There were TWO Mercury Meteors, as I recall. The one which USA people might remember is the "intermediate" car, similar to the Ford Fairlane, circa 1963, but there was also a Canadian Meteor which was on the Ford Galaxie/Mercury Monterey platform, circa 1963. Seems like the intermediate Meteor was a "unibody" car, though?Just some thoughts,NTX5467 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_OToole Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 There was a Canadian Meteor which was a dressed up Ford sold by Mercury dealer starting around 1950. I thought they first used the name in the US on a Mercury version of the Fairlane in 1962. Evidently there was a 1961 Meteor in the US which must have been based on the full size Ford.In any case my guess would be they used the same body mounts on the corresponding Ford and Mercury models that shared the same body and chassis structure.
