    That's great work on the headlight doors, Bill. With your fine-tuning around the headlights and profile, it will be an excellent piece Even more desirable with all three years available.

    Yessir, specifically the '79 Little Red Express in everything but name... mike

    Wasn't sure about availability but that fits the scenario; they were in the box of a pretty fair, well used '67 Merc 250 with a bale picker in the back. Got bid up to 3k The '67 was kind of an odd duck, with the new outer style but a number of carry-over parts from the '66. I've found about a dozen details unique to it as opposed to the '68-'72s. mike

    The F250 caps actually do exist with the earlier mounting flange but are pretty rare. Happened upon these at a farm auction. Thanks for the update, Dave, on the kits. The flareside looks pretty good but with four scale examples on the market already, I'd bet some were hoping to see the styleside first mike

    Not me … but I do see a 66/67 falcon/fairlane two door post influence. mike

    Didn't ashton kutcher have something to do with those flat brim hats? Imagine... 'punking' an entire generation... no, honest, kid... you don't look like a total dolt when you put that thing on... and don't forget the white frame sunglasses that just scream ' Hi! I'm almost six and a half years old!' mike

    While looking for something to bring the grill inserts in a 70 F100 grill back to something more closely resembling the stock parts I came across this mcg part (2259)...

    Mr Morgan has confirmed the move to new quarters and the existence of the box. They are currently trying to catch up on orders so there may be a temporary delay on some items. mike

    Those side emblems are the same for 67/68 and are also used on the 63/64, attached to the hood. The mercury lettering is black for 67/68 and red for 63/64. The decals look like they may have improved from the first set of his that I saw I believe they were made for the '67 used for pulling Elliot's racecar. mike

    Over on the spotlight forum, Steve A makes the best set of 67/68 Merc decals I've seen yet. For the '65/'66 Mercs, all that would be needed would be the fender name plates... as the front letters and tailgate letters are the same size from '65-'68. Ford merely added extra tabs to the '65/'66 Ford letter piece to make it work on the Mercs. If the Merc letters were to be done in photoetch, it might be a good idea to include the '62-'64 and '65-'68 front letters, the '65/'66 side nameplates and the '63/'64/'67/'68 cowl/hood plates (same design). Maybe even include the hood and tailgate letters from the fifties Mercs as well. Go big or go home mike

    I stand corrected, Tom Kind of assumed they'd be like the newer ones but from the scarce pics available it looks the paint patterns are indeed different. The '66 shortbox I owned was solid red and I'd never really paid attention to the tutone trucks. It appears that the '61-'66 trucks had the upper accent colors painted after the foundation color and the process was reversed at some time during the 67 model year. I've seen some '67 trucks where the wear-thru made it look like the bottom color was applied first. Thanks for sharing those great pics Tim. mike

    Glad it got through Thanks to you too, Brandon, for the trade. mike

    The light-catch here shows the rear ducktail arch and side contours off very well. We can hope that moebius will perhaps want to finesse this for a more accurate looking roof. If not, a little filing and some putty work should bring it up to snuff As far as the box interior color goes, Steve, it usually matched the hood, interior and upper box side color from the factory. You can find any combination on a restored truck. mike

    That could be part of it. Maybe the straight-up-and-down appearance of the grill vs the slight lean forward on the 1:1 could be throwing me off here too. mike

    Makes me wish I'd kept the '94 Lightning press kit I had Good article here from Motor Trend... https://www.motortrend.com/news/ford-f150-lightning-xlt/ mike

    Agreed. Beautiful build, Steve A couple of things that appear be worthy of further attention would be the over-tall appearing grill (1:1 height top to bottom 12.25") and taillights needing a slight sectioning and the fender bulges looking a little pudgy and over-rounded. Overall, a pretty good likeness. mike

    Been wanting to build a likeness of Mr Poteet's delivery myself. Very nice work on that black tudor mike

    That is a really nice set of parts from Fireball. I'm still looking forward to seeing someone make a serious attempt to accurize the topside to justify the time spent on the foundation mike
