From past experiences attending & not expecting something is the mind set to be in . Thinking Dennis Gage might take an interest in the stock truck .

Some beautiful trucks there, thanks for the pics. That Mercury panel is nice, and probably very rare.
By the way, DR Smith there are two pictures of the panel on the sign in front of the truck. Nice two tone paint.

Thanks for following up on that. I don't know that I have ever seen an older truck with a standard lift. I like it. Most people lower their trucks.

Your latest pictures are awesome as well. I had forgotten about the running board signs, those are such a good idea.

Joe , magnetic signs are for a two fold purpose . Tells the story of the truck & prevents little people from scratching the new gloss black running boards if they were to help themselves to a peek up inside . Had some comments on those . One of my better ideas.
