Seriously, I'm sure there was a good reason or appeared to be at the time
That's one beautiful truck.

I have a Classic Ford Facebook page with many links to restore your F100 , my advice is to drive it and restore at the same time , sitting in a garage for 3 or 4 years torn apart is " NO FUN ! " been there , done that !

Welcome!
Nice MERC! always wanted a 66 Mercury pickup.
those slant 225 six heads look cool too! LOL
What are the scj heads going on? Big or small cubes and is that engine going into the Merc? Had a friend just pick up a set of same heads and intake along with a bunch of other parts still in the box for 1200.00
Your friend got a very good deal, too bad I never seem to find them!! Thanks for the complement! Glad to be here.
These parts are going onto a 521 stroker, 4340 scat bottom end, diamond pistons, etc... Heads and intake have been ported by Carl @
http://carsbycarl.com/. Should make around 700 H.P. on 91 octane when all said and done. Just a fun street/strip toy.
