When I see a sleeper like that I tend to think of earlier models, from the 50's, but don't let me stop you! That is some incredible machining. Are the rivets raised, or are they drilled into the aluminum with a counter sink type center drill? It looks killer. I also like the tapered front bumper. That will be a nice change.

Nate the hay day for Mercury sleepers was 65 threw late 70's they made food truck bodys before that.. The rivets are counter drilled..
