..it's a "ride" now .. but nice start to some project if ya pull it apart & sand blast everything .. pretty rusty underneath
I like the unibody versions of those trucks but the regular two part box & cab versions .. not so much
unibody truck has really nice proportions..

Nice truck, but...
The left rear cab mount should be examined. And, one does not use an F-250 chassis under an F-350 configuration. There are differences in structural capability. This truck is technically not restored to original, but customized. Don't get me wrong, I love the truck and would love to own it but it hasn't been customized enough for me.

Ever Heard Of A Mercury Truck?
That's right, it's a Mercury truck! As it turns out, due to some interesting dealer regulations, Mercury dealers in Canada got to sell trucks that were largely but not entirely re-badged Ford trucks. This one is a 1962 "unibody" Mercury M-250 (think F-250) with a V-8. It's located in Canada, but...

I am still here once in awhile. It's tough though. Just got a hell of a deal on exhaust for my old girl. The system I put on in 2011 rotted out and my buddy in the exhaust business had a customer come in with a new truck who wanted straight pipes put on. I wound up with new muffler with the square chrome tip and new exhaust pipes. $200. including labour! Can't ask for much better.

so .. back in 2015 I installed eight brand new MSD coils...
today , I got a ruff runnin' truck and a fault code
misfire cylinder #1
been a while since I seen that...
my 01 has had 14-16 o-e coils over the years.. that routine coil "exchange" stooped when I swapped in the MSD's
peeps say they aint so great...
lol.. OOOk ..
keep buying the ford crap and keep paying.... and payin...
and payin...
good thing...
I bought nine of the msd's
..."cause..
"I know"...
ain't nothin , lasts forever...
but 6 years...
ain't bad
and it's a lot cheaper than continuing random failures..
I did use the grannatelli solid cable coil to plug connectors with 'em too
I think losing those stupid coil spring connectors might have helped
I know when I swamped them in the ignition got crisper .. snappie-r and I then realized you CAN feel those stupid springs as you drive buzzin' away madly
..so..before I go fer coffee in da morning I got a wee job to do..
cylinder #1.. nice .. hopefully easy..
