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 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.

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.
