Try and swing by chat tonight which starts at 7 pm mountain time. I think you are central time which would make it 8 pm

Thanks for the compliments guys. Sorry no extra Merc hubcaps, pretty rare finds. Ya that electric fuel pump was one of the first things I got rid of along with the wiring! I'll try to stop in for chat tonight.

It seems kind of rare that you have a custom cab with only single tone paint

Yes you don't see too many custom cab trucks that aren't two tone. My dad was thinking of repainting it with white on top. I also have a 66 Mercury custom cab that is not two tone, all green.

the valve covers are a mis-match. the drivers side is called a baldy, came from earlier FE. some chrome pent roof Mercury valve covers would look good on the ole girl. very nice looking truck.

Yes I was thinking the same about the chrome Mercury valve covers on top of a 428. Got a spare 428 kicking around you could send my way? LOL. Very impressive collection you have in your signature!
