Before I forget and a big thanks to Gregg ! My pictures from Photobucket are now much larger. Go to Off Subject section in the board index to learn how to make your pictures this size. A few pictures from Autorama in Detroit on 2/25/12 , all the trucks with the exception of the Hot Wheels truck were in the Ratrod Section.

Interesting pic's! I bet the lookers have no idea how much work it takes to make a (Relic) truck or distressed look/ratrod?
Anyway, Thanks for posting!..love it!

Didnt get to make it to the autorama this year. kinda wish I had gone though. The wife and I decided to stay at our nice rural home 31 miles north of the D instead. But that louvered slick is for sale for about $4800 on craigslist. I work with the owners buddy and he told me about it before it went up for sale..I was half tempted to pick it up...but i think i have a few too many projects

Hey thats my white 66. Thanks for taking the pics. I love that damn truck so much I parked my 54 Ford Semi-Kustom and drive the truck all the time. Its original paint, headliner,352, 3 spd. It's got dropped beams, flipped rear axle, 56 Buick caps. That UNI is by Club Brother Marks truck. It belonged to a mutual friend and he had planned to turn it into a Mercury truck. Mark did the louvers, fixed some fust, and distresed the paint. If you are interested in buying it PM and I can get you the info you need.

btw its a 60 Mercury Grill. They also look killer in 59, 60 El caminos

Chad the original owner let me know it a 61 Merc grill. He loved that truck and I hope he gets another one some day!!
