That's a beautifully done truck. Nice touch with the trim on the gas pedal. Compare with this original Merc that's also for sale-

Hey Ryan, any chance of you finding a link to the newspaper article about the restoration?

NICE! I wonder what it's starting at.

BTW, did they have stick-on rear view mirrors in '67? I thought they all had the bolt-on chrome ones.

I love the frame sitting there in all its glorious stockness with the Bilstein shocks... :wink:

Good eye :thup:
The standard '67 mirror that this one should have is off-white and is screwed to the windshield header. The chrome one was used on the Rangers. Maybe he couldn't find a nice one.
Hubcaps need trim painted too...

I thought that for a second too but it's just the spacer making it look that way.

I don't think it's a photoshop. I think it's a statue, and there are a man's legs next to hers. Might be a statue made to resemble the famous photo of a sailor and nurse kissing on V-E day 1945?

Nice Merc but the wrong engine color for '67. They were gold color. The blue didn't come out till '68 when the 352 became the 360.
