I agree Chattanooga has a lot of places to hold a show. There is Coolidge Park and Coker Tire with Honest Charlie Speed Shop. Could even do it at the Choo Choo complex.

Greetings from Chattanooga TN

I joined this site after I discovered it searching the origin of the Slick name. I have a 64 swb Custom Cab that I am restifying. It now has a 69 429 cj residing where the 6 cylinder once resided and a C6 tranny in place of the 3 speed. I am always looking for advise and ideas for my truck.

Re: Origin of the nicknames

Broncos are always strong looking. Even if they are low on power. I had a 73 with a 302 and auto and then got a full size 90 with a 351 auto. The 90 felt very weak compared to the 73. Loved how capable they both were.

Origin of the nicknames

I know this has been posted somewhere on here, but I am new to here and can't locate it. I have recently learned that more than just the 50's models have nicknames. So far I've seen Effie for of course the 50's and Slick for 61 - 66 and Dent for 67 - 72 and Bump for 73 - 79? How did these names get ...

Re: where would the south eastern slick get together be?

I am in Chattanooga, TN and would be keen on anything from Atlanta to Knoxville. Still a few years from taking my truck to a show, but I am portable. lol
