Wow I get to be top of the list PJ. :o)
Now tell us the truth who's motor is it ? we've had very few pickups in the UK until recently, I like the practical foot plate on this baby. Reckon it'll run on moonshine too I've got a few quid in me back pocket want to sell her ?
Good photo naturally. ;o)
That's a humdinger of a vehicle, PJ. You seem to locate these in the most pristine condition. Your post is also pristine, crisp, polished and it shines! Great job. I was hoping for more from you and it was worth the wait.
What a beauty :O...Great combination of colors...I love black and red.Really really nice.You don't see cars like these very often :) Thanks for sharing it with us.

COME ON YOU GREENS, UP THE ARGYLE.....
Now I even have fear to breathe out PJ as it might spoil the polish, lol! Suppose this was one of the first pick-up trucks.
Right or wrong?
Great post anyhow!

Obviously a labor of love, what an incredible photo of an extremely sharp reo. The background in the photo is extraordinary, and really helps make this photo sharp and perfect.

What a great pickup. I didn't realize Mercury even made a pickup. My late fathers favorite color combination was Red/Black. He would have loved this. You'll have to take me for a ride and we can talk about the good old days (me more than you lol) and listen to the radio. I'm sure it would be a stimulating day riding in that classic. Great post.

Nice classic and well captured PJ. Try using "Paths" for the curves around the fenders and roof next time and I'll bet you get a smoother and more accurate effect. Otherwise a beautiful post.
PJ, you shined this classic up beautifully. I love the colors. My grandpa owned one of these Mercury's, so it's going on my HD. Very nicely presented also ~ excellent work!
great truck, but since you have some sort of studio to do this in, you really need a back and fill light for this shot. That beautiful truck is disappearing into shadow. Do some research in studio lighting if you aren't familiar with what I'm talking about.

Ohoo man! Couldn't I haul some firewood in that baby... Ha! just teasing. PJ, is it really yours? It's one fine piece of truck.
I think you missed a spot on the tailgate.. ;>)
A great post..

What a graceful old beauty she is! I love your presentation, the muted red background is the perfect color, it brings out the color and shine of the truck without any distraction. Niiicely done!

What a beautiful truck PJ, I see you take care of your baby. This picture is awesome I put it into my favs. The reflections on the truck's body are very nice.
