62bigwindow: The OP (Harrison) said he's looking for a set of drop beam s , which would be for a twin I beam truck ('65-79) Sid's has talked about doing drops for Twin I Beams, but if they finally did build the fixtures, they haven't added them to their webpage.......... https://www.droppedaxles.com...

Harrison: I don't know how close you are to Marrieta, GA, but there's an old school shop there that may be able to get you "down" without buying beams. See the fourth post in this thread https://www.slick60s.com/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=24343 https://www.facebook.com/GSAUTOANDMUFFLERMARIET...

Pat: Be careful what you wish for, solidified lava is hard on discs & harrows !

Nic: I booked off time to go back in 2008, talked to a bunch of local lads, couldn't find anyone who ACTUALLY wanted to go.....so I decided to just stay home and work in the garage (built my Tig cart and some other smaller projects:) It wasn't until Speedweek was all over that I discovered that 2008...

Just going through all the pics from Speedweek posted to http://www.bangshift.com, and came across this pic of a Slick Pushtruck, I'll post any others I stumble across:) I like it!

The 1964 Models would have been released in the fall of 1963, if you look at a 1964 Shop manual, it will have a breakdown of the Consecutive Unit Numbers, the list starts with August/63.............

Seems like high temps in a LOT of places ATM, including here in EDMONTON, have a look @ the Weather Canada Forecast for the next week, we are, in all likelihood, going to surpass the all time temp for Edmonton (37 deg C, or 98.6 deg F) some time this coming week. The forecast for Wed is 41 deg C (10...

Haven't personally seen a 6.8 V-10 in a Slick, but I'd expect by now, someone has done it. I do know a local fellow who's in the middle of doing the 6.8L swap on a Bumpside ('71 XLT), and being as his last swap was the Lincoln 4.6L DOHC 32V into a '57 Ford SW, I expect the Bump will be nicely done:)

good2bea9: :cheers: welcome.gif The answers to your questions (as well as some you haven't asked yet) should be in the link. AND, if you take the time to search on this site, you will likely find that many questions that will come up have been asked and answered a number of times over the years.... ...

Two good old southern boys walked into a restaurant. While having abite to eat, they talked about their moonshine operation, trucks, etc. Suddenly, a woman at a nearby table who is eating a sandwich began to cough. After a minute or so, it became apparent that she was in real distress. One of the re...

MONGROT: Looking through my 1964 Ford/Mercury 100-350 shop manual, there is a separate section for each engine (144,223,262, & 292) BUT, after all the subsections for each of the engines, there is a Section with Specifications , towards the end of that section, there is a Table with Torque Limit...

Welcome from Alberta!

The cold spell has been broken!! Today is the first day since Jan 12/2021 that the temp here has been above freezing......currently, it's 4 deg C, or 39 deg F. But this will not last more than a few days, and there will be more low temps and more snow before it all ends.........I've joked over the y...

Pat: Taking it to another level, there is a local group that does a 10.5 day (252 hours) outdoor hockey game, all to raise funds for Cancer. And this year, their 10 day run has fallen during the coldest stretch (so far) this winter......... http://www.worldslongestgame.ca livestream on YT https://ww...

Pat: It's fine!!......when you're INDOORS:)

But, I'm a '61 Model, and with each passing year, I think less that we're tough, and more maybe just not that smart!
