Well guys, I finally sold my 97. Im sad to see it go. But I did get a pretty good price for it too.

Now Sometime this week, or next week, I am heading out to my uncles and will be looking at a mid 50's merc that my grandpa used to own. I figure I will get that to fill the emptiness from my 97 being gone!

 

Yeah i guess so eh too bad about the 97 pretty nice truck but i guess you gotta move on now you can fill the gap

 

Do tell more about this.....
Of course we want pictures too!

 

hope the 97 got a good home. do tell about this mid 50's prep...sounds real interesting!!

 

Well from what I remember it was a 3/4 ton, and was in ok shape. My grandpa used it as a graintruck, and made a handy little chute in the side of the box, if I remember correct. I think it has potential though, and I will have to go and see it to refresh my memory abit.

 

No recall of the year?
When are you going to get a chance to see it?

 

Not the specific year, I know for sure I remember my grandpa was telling me it was a 50's, and it still has the big fenders on it, so it wouldnt be a 57, or 58, whenever they changes the body styles.

I just remembered too my uncle has another old merc of my grandpas, a 65ish 3/4 ton unibody.When I go out there, most likely later this week, early next week, I will be taking a ton of pictures.

 

Good stuff,we`re waiting on the pics.

 

Morris, you would love to go out there. There is a ton of cool old fords im sure you would love. He used to have some old galaxies and some other stuff too but he had an auction a few years ago and cleaned osme of it up. He has a ton of pre 30's stuff too.

 

pre 30's sounds like an opportunity for a rat rod...

 

Yeah no kidding i agree sherm lots of neat stuff its cool to check that out waiting for pics...

 

Well sherm I may be able to hook ya up, if you like anything you see from them pics, when I take em!

 

i'll definately take a look, but try not to make it too deep i'm being told i have to prioritize my expendatures for a while...

 

That would be neat to see even though I`m more into the 50`s 60`s vehicles. Too bad about the auction or maybe that`s a good thing., I love the 60`s Galaxies....
Any model T-A stuff around there?

 

i purely want a 48-56 M of F100 with mostly solid metal. at least a solid cab...
