Been a while since I've posted but I'm still kicking. Wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year. I've been slowly making progress towards my own shop. I have picked up a 52" Tennsmith box and pan metal break, a 52" Tennsmith foot shear, a Rockwell metal lathe and an arbor press. I've also b...

Skip the glove box and hood mount look great. I'm jealous that someone is actually making some progress.... LOL

Hey guys, I'm still kicking. Sorry to report but I haven't done anything physically to the truck except move it home. I'm breaking ground on my own place to work in a few months. It'll be a 40 x 100 with a paint booth built in. meanwhile, I'm working on getting the garage cleaned so I can tinker on ...

Love the F 350 Whats up with that heater? Assuming the red interior is the F 350, I thought the parking brake was to the right of the shifter. The red interior is from the 350. It looks like the heater is something that someone changed. I'm unsure of the history of the truck. A guy that knows that ...

I puicked up a couple of trucks over the past few months. Finally got them home. so I thought that I'd post a copuple of pic's. One is a 61 Unibody. Fairly solid for the south east. Missing the tail gate and the motor and trans are long gone. It also has a Dana rear end under it. Positive Traction a...

So, The remodel on the house is all but complete so time to get my life back going and get back on the ole truck. I wanted to get some opinions. Since I smoothed the dash, I have been checking out some different type gages. I ran across one of these and picked it up but am not sure if I will like it...

A friend of mine picked up an odd ball truck. its a F250 extended cab with a short bed. It also has a special hod lock where the hood latch inside has a key to unlock it. Anyone have any idea if this particular combination of 3/4 ton extended cab and short bed are? Just curious. Thanks guys.

Its all good. I got handed some lemons so I just made lemonade, lemon pie, and all kinds of lemon based stuff. I think I still have a few lemons left if anyone needs any. lol

Brian, all I can say is "Bad Azz"

Sorry guys. Life has thrown a few curve balls at me. Gave the house a face lift to get it refinanced and I'm just about done with that. I'm hoping to finish the last bit of hardwood, tile and paint in the master bedroom in a couple of weeks then I can get the refinancing done. I'll be back at it as ...

Not to hijack the thread but I welded brackets to the back of my bumper and then bolted the brackets to the frame .

Red: Got the magazine yesterday:)...not a bad little write-up....and even though there are only a few pics, I notice one that I don't recall seeing here on Slick60's. And that would be of the sheetmetal panels that cover up the factory inner box sides. Do you plan on rolling some beads on them, or ...

That Black truck is one of my favorites. Brian Pope (UniFan) Built it. I saw it in person a couple of years ago at the Smokey Mountain F100 Run in Tn. It is sharp from front to rear. I crawled all over the truck and it was like a new one. He's building another under the Projects and Builds. I think ...

James, I looked and looked but all of the stores arouned here had last months on the stand. the one you mentioned. I finally found one at Walmart. The cover looks like this. http://i964.photobucket.com/albums/ae129/OleSkoolTrucks_photos/2011-07-03_19-13-22_149.jpg Well day two of my "Slick"...

Just plain out sick, Are those 22's? They look a lot bigger than my 20's.

No, I don't think you'll have any issues at 150 psi and the 1/4" wall tubing.

Looking good as always man. I look forward to the progress reports on it. Have you done the tank in the frame rails before? I've thought about the same thing but was unsure about the rectangle tubing vs round. We actually built some out of round pipe for a '51 Chevy truck and mounted them down the s...

Thanks man. Nothing wrong with a "hot roddin' momma". Wish that my wife was. She just likes going to the shows so she can shop. lol. I did get a kid sitter and got some stuff done. No tank welding though. Man I wish I could tig weld but I don't think that my fuel tank is a good starting pl...

Looking good. I like the bubble top too.

the older I get, the worse my eyes are, keep them big ones coming. Great progress by the way.
