Hey Texasyeti, Welcome from the East side of the DFW... I'm out in Rowlett near Garland. Got a 66 F100 SWB that Im currently funneling my cash into.... If you and Brian ever want to meet up and team up for a junk yard scavenger run let me know. I have a flatbed car hauler we can use to tow big parts...

Brian,
Did you happen to notice if any of the 61-66is styleside trucks had decent bed floor metal? Mine's rotted to hell and gone and I need to rebuild the floor before remounting the bed, once my rear tank is installed.

An unrusted bed!!!! My kingdom for an unrusted bed!

Thank you!

Man this site has some great info on it! I have decided to go with an 85-90 Bronco II tank for my fuel tank swap. I looked at the Mustang tank and while it seems to be a very flush fit under the bed, I REALLY prefer the extra capacity that the Bronc tank offers (23 gallons!) Someone had previously p...

Thanks, I will ask Carolina Classics whether they did their homework or not.

Im gonna call these ppl tomoorw and hope that this will work for me.
It is a bolt and pad kit for the bed.. $36

I think I may have found one... it doesn't specifically say bed... instead body and cab. Any thoughts?

I have looked thru the LMC catalog.. I can only find a bed mount kit for 67-72 styleside

Help me Obi-Wan, you're our only hope!

Seriously though anyone know of a urethane kit? I found cab and suspension kits , just need the bed now.

wow good to know. I bought a kit from POR a little while ago that I will be using on a gas tank for my 1993 Eagle Talon and it a few other parts. I've always heard it was great stuff. Sounds like I outta get real familiar with thoe instructions!

Hey welcome and right on, another 66 Slick in the DFW. Im out in Rowlett. Id like to compare notes some time. I've been going thru mine, but unfortunately havent ever seen another one up close to compare with. The people on this board have been a great help to me so far, I'm sure they will treat you...

Doh! Well I'm glad I ran these links buy you guys... I have been trying to up my knowledge level about these engines... Of course I realize that not everything written should be taken as fact, but wow is it a suprise to see all those errors pointed out. Thanks for the corrective input!

Good to know, thanks alot!

I thought some of you guys might find it insightful.

Ok thanks for the reply.. i did some more digging and realized that FE stands for Ford/Edsel. I was initially under the impression that it was some special designation like "Interceptor" motors, but now I think I have it right. I guess I was hoping that the 4bbl carb would help me better i...

Ok so we started going thru the truck, identifying this and that... I know this truck has a 352 in it, and now i "think" it might be on of those FE motors.... I say this because I'm under the impression that the non-FE motors all used 2bbl carbs. My motor has a Carter Competition Series 4b...

Ahh, like around Watagua or Keller? I used to live there. Im in Rowlett now. (East of Garland) Thanks for the info!

Thank you BarnieTrk for the great insight and advice and everyone else for the well wishing. Barnie, The glass was just replaced prior to me picking the truck up and I think my dad didnt specify with the glass guy that we needed the weatherstrip that allowed the trim moulding to fit in. I do have it...

Well, she is finally here. Took alot longer to get it due to an extremely heavy workload. I had wanted to have the truck in Texas and ready for Slickstock, but couldn't get it done. Work has finally eased up and now it's here. Please take a look and tell me what you all think. I made another post a ...

Hello all! My name is Mark. I'm a newer member and just wanted to say that this site has been such a great source of insight for me. My grandad had a slick, passed it to my dad, and now it it's my turn! Last week I took the family back home to Southern Louisiana on vacation and we returned with a 19...
