Anyone interested in a 1960 Mercury Shortbox Fleetside?

 

Depends how close you are to me.

 

He's in British Columbia, Canada, even for you that's a tick to trek.
429, that's "STYLESIDE", Fleetside is a GM designation, just thought you'd like to know.

 

What he said!

 

I'm an hour north on Highwy 5 from Kamloops, I can get some pictures if someone wants

 

the truck has a good tailgate and a chrome grill, it does not have the front suspension in it right now but is available ,it was put on a 57 long box which is in pretty ruff shape. I think there was a motor in it I'll have to recheck when I get the pic's,will need some new metal but how many shortboxes do you see of the Mercury

If by some small chance you ever come across a Hood for a '58 M-100, would you be so kind as to grab it for me & I'll reimburse you for it.

 

Not Mercury, it's Ford, but here's a rust free 57/58 hood on ebay that's in your part of the country. Stu

Thank'ee kindly, but I all ready went that route, what a Pain in the posterior that was.
I wish to replace the bondo'd to death one that I've got @ present w/ the proper MERCURY one.
But once again Thank'ee any way!!!!!

 

Other than badges, how are the two makes different?

My buddy Rusty just got done redoing the 57/58 hood he pulled off a donor truck we hauled home a few months ago. Like you say, the hood looked pretty good until he got it blasted and found all the pin hole rust areas. He had to pull the whole thing apart and weld in new metal. It was a p.i.t.a., but turned out good. Stu

 

I better make up a wish list I might know of one I'll see if it's still there

 

This aren't any Holes to Fill-In for the FORD Shield Badge on the MERCURY hood.
W/o a proper template, you ever have to drill holes that align correctly so that it spells MERCURY out across the front of the hood evenly?

 

That would be Excellent!!!!!

 

I got the pictures loaded in my albums for the 60 Mercslow speed internet took all morning to load
