Sorry to hear about that cab fire. Really gets me mad to here about people screwing around with others property. Someone tried taking my whole truck about a month or so ago.

We try and keep them a secret up here in the great white north.
Usually if there's a choice between a ford and a merc, the merc will sell first and for a higher price.

I dunno where you have been buying truck traders, Rob, but I doubt if I have ever seen one that didn't have at least 2 or three Mercs in it.

Paso1, how much you want for the uni tailgate?

I probably saw the picture and just considered it as another Ford without looking closely. Seeing how they're so similar. Must be a Canada thing, eh?

My condolences on the '61.

If you could please keep your eyes peeled for a Complete Hood w/ Badges/Emblems/Letters, for my '58 M-100, I'd be willing to give you a finders fee for you trouble.

Thank'ee

sorry Ringo no tail gate It was a friends winter junker for years He had the truck for so long without the tail gate He has no idea where it is. He had it parked and kids smashed the drivers window and set the seat on fire. I bought it for the power train. Colonal flashman I'll keep a eye out for those parts no finders fee necessary.

Col Flashman I know where a '57 Mercury M-100 is. It has all the trim but they put a sliding door on the tailgate cutting out the RCU.

51

Is this a running truck or a possible doner truck?
If it is indeed a doner & all the trim is on the Hood, would you please find out how much Rhino they wish for it?
To bad about the T/G, I've had to cobble together one already & it was a pain in the posterior.

Thank'ee

Think that they'd part w/ the hood, if it's a parts truck that is.
