How I found my truck?
We purchased the truck at the Bremerton Swap Meet
Comments: It is still unfinished, I have had the chrome nameplates
'Mercury' for 22 years in a box. I retrieved them from
a '56 Merc panel up in Edmonton Alberta that my brother
owned before it was wrecked. I found this panel in the
spring of '98 over in Silverdale Wa. (by Bremerton)
It still had the California title (I found the owner using
the internet and some paper inside the truck).
He sent me the title . It was an unfinished project
then too, but in pieces.
Purchase price: $2,500.00
Estimated value now : $6,500.00
Future plans: Lower the rear end, add 3rd brake lite above doors with
stock panel lite, Electric Lincoln moon roof ,rear disc
brakes and engine rebuild.
