    Hey guys,
    I am in need of 4 more of these teeth, can anyone tell me if this a 53 or 54 tooth?

    On a side note, I really want to convert my 54 Ford back to a "Ford" not Merc front end and basically all I need left is a front bumper and brackets. Does anyone know where I could get one? I've searched everywhere!

    It's a shame you aren't closer to Oregon, I'd love to have the Merc front end on mine. What all is different between the two, other than the grille, bumper and bumper brackets?

    Echo, the fenders are longer in the front of the wheels, gravel pan, and like you said the bumper and grille. I've heard the fenders and hood is longer but I don't know actually. My car has Ford fenders someone chopped up to make the Merc front end gravel pan work. There is nothing wrong with it I just want to get it back to the Ford look. :)

    Lol, yeah that LS just jumped in it....... ;)

    I thought it was a 53, Thanks guys!
