Re: BlackTruck Build 65
Ok, been a while…. But I am slow…. Decided to go with epoxy for the finish…. My first epoxy project, so some lessons learned. Still have some odds and ends to wrap up, but Doug stopped by last night and helped me get it in the bed. https://i.postimg.cc/rs7xrmLg/IMG-3165.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/Yqm1...

Re: BlackTruck Build 65
With bed frame done, I used this plastic insert on bottom of frame to provide some padding. https://i.postimg.cc/HxW8TC3y/IMG-2820.jpg Now to start on the wood, I am using old mahogany paneling from a house installed in the 50’s… so I ripped the boards down and created some glue ups. Ran them thru t...

Re: BlackTruck Build 65
With outside mostly assembled, I started working on the bed. I wanted to put a wood bed insert in to give the look of a wood bed. There is a guy around here with a nice dent side that built one and it looked good. This is his bed below. https://i.postimg.cc/6qC9TTbj/IMG_1925.jpg He used a plywood un...

Re: BlackTruck Build 65
Ok, got title and tag on Friday, and 4 wheel alignment. So was off to the races, Debbie and I were out for leisurely shake out cruise… and all of a sudden, smoke out of the back and oil pressure dropped to nothing. Pulled over and oil was pouring out of somewhere… my heart just sunk. Doug came and p...

Re: BlackTruck Build 65
Looking forward to it… I have seen you mention your 66… but I didn’t see any pictures, tell me what your your truck looks like so I can find you.
Goes for anyone else on slicksixties, would love to meet some of the people in person at the F100 show in a couple of weeks.

Re: BlackTruck Build 65
Yes, trying to get ready for the show in Pigeon Forge… we have gone last few years with the blue 63… so a lot to do… but hoping to test drive and get bed on by end of this weekend.

Re: BlackTruck Build 65
Got the cowl lacing on today….on the 63, I used the tacks etc… this time decided just to use the 3M weatherstrip glue. https://i.postimg.cc/sDZwhn3W/53-A01615-B4-D2-44-F9-84-D0-66750803907-B.jpg There seems to be some different opinions on the correct positioning of this… but my unmolested 66 has it...
