FHR,
to the site!
That looks like a sweet '64 Merc, and it appears you're well on your way to a fine ride!
I bet that '60 Merc will also be sweet.... I hope you have the grill for it, if not, it might be tough to locate a good one.

I know a guy who has wanted a 60 Merc flareside for years. it was his first truck. A local boneyard had a chrome '60 Merc grille hanging on it's wall for years. By the time I decided I'd better go grab it, it was gone.

I am guessing you are going for a gasser look - Killer!
Should look great with a short flareside.
Would like to do one myself one of these days - would do mine with a fridge though.
