that really looks great. I'm usually torn about the rear roll pans but I like how yours looks.

Damn, that is a sweet For.... err... Mercury Truck

The paint is sweet and the engine is a monster. Congrats on restoring a piece of history. It is a great truck.

Thanks for the feed back. I'm going to try to get the pictures of truck build into my gallery. That may take a few days though, I have to scan them into my computer first.

Man, what a great truck. What's the name and type of paint? I have a very similar color on mine that I need to re-do.

The paint is called Cayman Pearl Metallic. It's Ford green. It was put on Aerostars, and Escorts in the early '90's. My headers are Sanderson street rod headers. They're coated, and expensive! I have home made motor mounts, so any "made to fit headers" wouldn't fit. I like'em. As for a little history....Mercury trucks were only made in Canada, and '68 is the last year they were made. They're identical to Ford trucks of the same era's, except for minor changes, like badging, and trims.

The 460 is super easy to fit in there. I can have it out in less than an hour, and that includes removing the hood! L&L makes mounts to put the 460 in, or you can use the stock mounts from a 73-79 with the 460.
