At least Mercury Marine and GM have some history. It's not like there's a Chrysler hanging off the transom.
Car pics too cool not to share

A few quad overhead cam V8 mosters come to mind!!!
Back in simpler times you could just do a awesome burnout in Corvette , now your butt could pucker thinking about how much the car costs.... .Naw

Is that oil smoke, or a blown head gasket?

I believe it's referred to as a Carbon Black to Aerosol Conversion via. extreme friction induced through a hot Mark IV and M -22 4 spd. to a 3.73 ratio-ed IRS.
Beautiful job on this truck.
LOVE the suicide doors in the rear too

Something looks off with the bed - was it made taller?
Looks like the bed is mounted higher on the chassis and the rear fenders are mounted lower on the box compared to stock. Maybe a clearance
The bed is taller, and the rear fender has been stretched. I like the height of the bed sides, but the fender is just shy of being done right. You can see they were trying to match the body lines of the truck, but just couldn't quite get it right. The body line running down that truck appears wavy and soft compared to a factory truck. Either there is a lot of filler on that truck, or there is some glass work. Either way, it shows to be lacking in the body work to me. I'd give it a high-end amateur rating, or a B if it was done by a pro shop.
Overall it's a nice looking truck.
Since wildman posted a Chrysler "letter car" a few pages back, I thought I go down that path with my 3 favorite years.
'55 C-300 and '56 300B (pretty much the same car)
'62 300H
'65 300L (with aftermarket wheels)
The '62 and '65 both look great as convertibles too. Some of the few cars that I think look great both ways.

Of the 3 I like the 65 the most. I've never been much of a convertible fan but that might have been due to where I lived. Either in places like AK where it's COLD or WA where it's wet. Of course all that gets blown out of the water casue I own a Jeep. But that's different......
It's funny, I used to like convertibles better than hardtops, now it's hardtops over convertibles, but with my Jeep I really like it halfway. Doors off or 1/2 doors, windows off/rolled up and the top still on is my favorite way to ride when it's warm.
Good news for me is stock-style convertible tops for my Impala have a zip-in-zip-out rear window like our Jeeps, so if I ever get to drive mine I'll be good to go.

I'll have to get my buddy to send me pics of his '62 "letter car". Beautiful cars!
Its not bad! I like the bed sides to be low myself, but that's just me.
