Went Friday and Saturday. Was in the vender area all day Friday and still didn't see it all.

On Friday I saw this truck for sale...




I dont think bobj49f2 would buy it... unless you change out the grill.

Didn't get the official count but must have been more than 5000 vehicles there. Great event.

It was my first show and had a great time. Next year or even during the spring fling in Daytona we need to get a club spot so we can talk to eachother and still be able to shop/brose. I wouldhave loved to be next to a couple of Fords instead of a Corvette and a 49 Chebby but still had a great time anyways. I also believe over 4700 cars were registered last year they had over 5000. Its funny just how many people told me they never made a Mercury truck and they thought it was interesting how I made the tailgate.

I didn't see any other mercury trucks there. Although they could have been there... there were so many vehicles. A ford group together at the show sounds good. I elect you to make it happen. haha I believe you can get assigned number of passes if you contact them.

That truck was on here, I think it was Carl/Texan2004 who first posted it. It would sure look a lot better with the rear axle centered in the fender...

I thought there had been one like it here about 8 months to a year back. But I thought it was in texas (this one had OK tags) and not in a good of shape as this one. I searched for the thread but couldn't find it. I wonder how many of these there are out there.

That there would be the perfect truck, and I probably would have been the sucker that buys it. How much were they asking for it?

Didn't have a price. just a phone number. There were a lot of people walking around it sizing it up. If you want the number send me a pm. He could have sold it. I don't know.

Thanks I was just curious. I'm at a point in my life where I can't afford to start a project like that. I would've loved to have that truck tough.
I have a 1955 F250 that I had to discontinue all work on, and it's just rotting in a field now.
