heres my `64

I bought a mustang one, the inside diameter is the same as the truck one but the outside diameter is much smaller on the mustang one, the truck one is available but, the quality was poor on the macs one I bought, I was lucky enough to find a truck one NOS. John

Thanks for your comments, glad you like it, you must have a big shed cause it won`t fit in mine, won`t even fit down my driveway, I keep it at my dads place & am going to build a carport to cover it. too bad I didn`t get to meet you maybe next show. I mentioned before 18th august at the eastern ...

Hi John, It was good to meet and chat with you yesterday, the truck is a real credit to you mate. I hadn`t seen your post after mine, and where you were, was as usual the last place we looked. Maybe you could use all your left overs to build a F100 Slick :P I haven`t had time to see if I have a set...

Hi, I fitted mine on the passenger side, the firewall is further back so I could fit the AC unit almost flush with the dash & there is plenty of leg room, I know the dash looks reversed (RHD) but I believe the firewall still has the same shape, mine is a 1964 AC unit, i think a newer one would p...

Thanks guys, bit of a surprise, some nice pick-ups & trucks there, heres a couple of pics I took.

Hi Alan, good to meet up with you yesterday, was a top day, I think it was probably the biggest Ford day, somehow I managed to pick up the best commercial vehicle trophy. John

Hi Alan, I will be working at the gate until about 10am, my red & black 64 Merc truck will be near the scrutineering shed, come by & say gday. John

Hi, any of you Aussie members in Sydney, the All Ford Day & Ford swap meet are on this weekend at Sydney dragway. I`m taking my 64 Merc truck along, there will be a section for all model Ford trucks this year. John http://i1103.photobucket.com/albums/g465/AFX1964/flyerallfordday_zpsce8012b6.jpg

That sounds interesting, let me know how it works out, I dont think I am going to find a new core in a hurry so I will have to make one & now its fitted I am limited for space, your idea might be the answer. are they electric or water heated ?

[quote="Leeroy"]You;ll need the heater if you come to bendigo this time of year!! :D In fact I just purchased a heater yesterday for mine (landcruiser underseat) I'd been keen to see it if you do! Leeroy, I fitted a round smiths heater my dad had lying around but it started leaking, now i ...

I am at a loss for words. And folks around here will tell you how rare that is. Your workmanship is off the scale. And Toyz will tell you that the Comet is my personal holy grail. But I have to ask, in the first picture, is that a Cortina lurking there? A twin cam Cortina or a single stick Cosworth...

Looks awesome, LOVE the black/red combo. I don't think I've ever seen a merc here in oz until I'd seen yours. Definitely a rare beast down this way! You've done an outstanding job. Did the dynamat floor covering work ok? I'm toying with doing that myself when it's time. Thanks Leeroy, I like how it...

hers a couple of pics from the trip, didn`t get past 1st round due to 11.05 on 11.10 break out but had a great time cruising in the truck.

Once again WOW, what a combo. excellent workmanship. Curious as to what the fuel mileage will be when hauling that on your 1200 miles. Im considering doing something simialr so any advice would be helpful. Just back from the trip, the truck cruises great, sits on 60mph at 2500rpm on a good road, on...

Danny I am the same, I`m still grinning days later looking forward to the next drive. its good to finally have it going & drives great. John

That makes one stunning combo! Best of luck on the trip, and take lots of pics! What is the length of the "tabletop", and does it roll back or use ramps? Paul Thanks Paul, I am planning on taking some good pics on the way, the tray is 17`2" long & 7`6" wide the tray is fixed...

Finally got the tray fitted to the truck last weekend, still needs a bit of finishing off but is ready enough to load up to make its first big trip with the comet aboard, heading to the winternationals drag event, 1200 mile round trip, hopefully everything goes to plan.

outstanding! and a real Australian cattle dog too 8) can`t get any work done without my mate, thanks for your contribution too Brian. Finished the truck off friday night just in time to drive a 310 mile round trip on a historic truck run with 300 old trucks, I didn`t touch it all weekend, just topp...
