Just for fun I set the rear bumper of the 52 Merc sedan on the back of the 49 Merc truck. And this is how it looks. Not sure if I'd ever make it a permanent thing.

It just does'nt look like it belongs. Jack.

now if you cut the quarter panels off the merc and grafted them on to the trucks rear fenders that would work!!

Maybe with a few modifications.

Not really.... It needs to be like the front bumper, or better yet, fabbed from channel and diamond plate. And don't forget the trailer hitch!

Nice work! It has possibilities. I had the angle all wrong as it is tilted too far forward on the truck frame.

I actually think it could work . Just tell everyone that it was a Canadian only option .

Makes it look like a Chevy. Looks terrible.

That looks odd, sorry.
