The mercury is the roughest of the trucks I've got. The fenders and box are beat but all the trim and chrome are there. Have put thought into eventually having one merc and one ford. Is the difference between ford and merc in these years just the chrome trim and badging?

 

Difference is the trim, badging and vin.

 

Well learned a good lesson this weekend. Not to count your trucks till they are in the yard. Made a deal on a truck and called the guy to finalize everything only to be informed it was gone. I totally understand that thing like this can happen but everything turned out in my favour in the end. I ended up finding another 51 f3 that used to be a service station truck. Bought and paid for so this deal won't fall through. Pics in my album can get them there easy enough but not on here. Sorry. And I finally found the last piece of truck, a tailgate a proper on for a f3. The guy measured twice over the phone and then buddy measured again for me when he picked it up. It won't be here until tomorrow but from pic I got it looks in good shape. Well that was my truck fun for the day.
