good body style didnt know mercury built a truck in those years too,, never seen one before in personupfrombottom":f7437q3z said:I've got a 66 ford pickup I bought in 76 for $500. I drove it until 86 and parked it, thinking I might restore it some day. I worked for 2 months to come up with the 5 hundred to buy it and have worked for the last 35, trying to get the time and money to restore it. In another 30 or so in will probably be a "barn find" for somebody.
