. . . Put it together and bumped the key and it fired right up without the choke which it normally wanted a little of. Appreciate everyone's help on this! I'm curious, after a year, is the Pertronix trigger still working? I ask because I've had poor luck with Pertronix twice, and it left me strande...

Howdy Gang! These new-in-the-box MOOG tie rod ends fit the Slick Sixties F-250, F-350 and F100 4WD . I bought these tie rod ends for my F100 2WD, and learned that they are too big. These are intended for the heavier trucks and 4WD. My mistake, so I'm selling them at a discount to cut my losses. I pa...

Have someone make you a custom shifter with no markings, best theft deterrent there is Ha! I just did that for my slick, and I had that very thought! http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y93/waterlaw99/20160110_130333_zpsagciwzke.jpg BTW, my 62 Slick has the grandma-low four speed everyone has been des...

. . . The recruits got stockings from the "spouses club" here and the Master Chief Petty Officer of the CG came to talk with them. . . . Christmas morning was an easy day as I was required to be nice again. They got to go off base for an adopt recruit type program where they get fed and c...

A gas welder! You are a rare breed. Though I've heard if you can weld with gas moving to TIG is easy, and most people can use a MIG with a little practice. Funny, I don't think of myself as a gas welder, since I'm just learning. I think of myself as an arc welder, which is probably an equally rare ...

I suspect I'll manage to show up in Salina, since it's a short drive from Denver. If I do, I'll bring my valve cover racers along. I used to belong to a club that encouraged more participation in the valve cover racing by holding a "concourse" class as well as speed classes, since some peo...

Thanks, neighbor!

. . . you appear to be aware that the wrongbed is the "right" bed. Because of the wheelbase differences between yours and the "right bed" trucks, the later Styleside does not fit well. Many of us have finally come to terms with the "wrongbed"; I suspect you may also! T...

Is a jewelled shift knob just lipstick on a pig? For sure. But that's a bit of the style I envision for this project. I want to keep the cool patina outside, but make the interior sparkle, so that people are taken aback when they walk up to the truck at a show and expect to see a worn interior that ...

Howdy Slick lovers! New guy here, near Denver, Colorado. My project is a truck that belonged to my best friend, Terry. He bought this '62 wrongbed shortly before I met him, around thirty years ago. Terry was a typical starving artist who spent most of his time painting, but never sold much artwork. ...
