Uh...I just found this thread by bmgc... http://slick60s.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=28653&hilit=battery+getting+charge The alternator light must be functional for the battery to charge. Is the red light on the dash of a 66 the alternator light? And it will only work if that bulb is functional?

On my 66 f250 I put in a new 1) Alternator 2) Solenoid 3) Voltage regulator Still no charge to the battery. I've gone through the wiring 3 times now and everything seems to be hooked up correctly. Theres also an amp-meter gauge hooked up in the dash. It'll read when there is a draw, but I'm getting ...

I appreciate the info guys! Glad to hear its a great filter

So I took off my new truck's air filter cause it seemed very oily to discover that it was filled with oil. http://i802.photobucket.com/albums/yy308/ThinL1zzy13/photo_zps6499c7ae.jpg http://i802.photobucket.com/albums/yy308/ThinL1zzy13/photo_zps16e0cd2f.jpg Reading a little bit on here I guess that i...

The 65 stepside I had cost me 90 bucks every 6 months for insurance. I would've just drove that full time if wasn't for everything being covered in copious amounts of salt 6 months out of the year...

Congrats!! Looks good!! The tow rig looks good too!!! Thanks :D The 390 got a workout that day, as did the old drum brakes. I probably shouldve upgraded to discs before the tow :oops: nice score. the wheels look to be one piece. 16.5 or 16? I believe the wheels are 16, I'll have to double check tha...

Pickin up my new truck this weekend, maybe its first trip will be the next slick stock?

Nice find ezer. I'm gunna keep my eye out for some here. I like the bump side too

AH well that makes much more sense now. I dont know why I didnt think thats what meant, but thanks for the clarification Hopefully all goes well on the trip home

I'd take two mediums, one black one white, if this is still gunna happen

I drive down 17 so I hit there too. I'm in security forces at the airbase in Newburgh. Only 3 more years of those one weekend a month drives...

I'm sure I'll be quite the site on the thruway towing a 66 home with my 74 lol 8) Just proves you have very good tastes in trucksl :cheers: Mike :iagree: My fiance even wanted to use the 74 in engagement pics...guess shes a keeper :cheers: Forgive me if this is a dumb question...but would the f250 ...

Thanks, good to know about the solid rims and different sizes. I think I'm gunna pull the trigger on it. The guy is gunna throw in a tool box and extra bench seat. I'm sure I'll be quite the site on the thruway towing a 66 home with my 74 lol

Forgive me if this is a dumb question...but would the f250 8 lugs have been 16.5" not just 16"?

Thanks for the info guys.

Also Paul I believe this truck has 16 inch rims. I wasn't sure how hard it would be to find replacements if needed for 8 lugs.

Went and saw a real solid 66 F250 today I'm probably gunna pick up. 4 SPD I6 300(put in at some point for a 352 I think). 8 lug wheels. Geared wayyyyyy low. Ran good. But the fenders look funny to me. They were telling me they have higher clearance fenders? Does anyone else have a truck with that or...

Looks like a sweet event

Not to change the subject...but how were the nationals this year ny1964? I've lived here my whole life and only managed to get there once
