Back in 1969 I had a very nice 1951 F1 Ford 1/2 ton. It was just like the Sanford and Sons' truck. Except mine was blue. So I had to watch the show on TV. I had a good laugh. As the show starts up there is a good shot of Lamont driving the 1951 or 1952 F1. The front hood emblem has Ford on it not Mercury.
