Here it is on pickup day (pickup the pickup). Love the F150 (new) bringing home the F100 (old). http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee373/dbradycpa/pickupthepickup.jpg First order of business is to get it running. Needs a carb rebuild and probably a water pump (we'll just have to see). Work and fina...

For example, had no idea the door pockets on the 64 included a vinyl cover with zipper. Seems like every pic I've seen of others the pocket has been removed and a panel placed in that area. FYI: The door pockets with vinyl and zipper were Custom Cab options. The plate was/is standard. This is why y...

Think this is a good idea given someone is willing to manage the section. As my 64 is a mis-mash of pieces, think having reference point would be great. For example, had no idea the door pcokets on the 64 included a vinyl cover with zipper. Seems like every pic I've seen of others the pocket has bee...

Very cool. When I finish my 67 mustang coupe will try and do the same down here in Charlotte. Thanks for sharing and the idea!

14 hours and 735 miles and we finally got the 64/66 home. It's funny, I had a whole week before pickup to come up with a restoration plan. Was going to drop both front and back 3 inches. Chrome hubs on white rims and 3 inch white wall tires. Really dark window tint. 2 tone paint - either dark blue o...

The use of mustang seats is a great idea because it is so easy to get replacement hardware, cushions, coverings. Also, it's your truck, do what makes you happy and not worry about what others say. I try and do a hike a year on the Appalachian Trail and it seems every hiker is a expert on everything ...

Have been researching interior options, specifically seats. Know now to skip these guys. Thanks for the heads-up!

Thanks Randy. I agree, think this truck has become a hybrid 64 - frame, suspension, cab, etc. 66 hood, fenders, doors, grill (?). No idea what year the 390 is. All-in-all, I don't really care. So long as it is safe to drive. I am going to put the 1950's chrome wheel cap with the blue surrounding &qu...

The truck club is Antique Truck Club of America. The chapter near Blacksburg is called Appalachian Mtn Chapter - based out of Cedar Bluff, VA. Here's there address: http://www.antiquetruckclubofamerica.org/index.html For those of you in my neck of the woods, I am coordinating the start of a new chap...

I'll be there all 4 days. Manning a booth in the infield (think it is LB015) to display and discuss the NPO Ford Museum and to sell raffle tickets. It's a cash raffle, we are limiting 5,000 tickets. Tickets are $10 each and 25% of pot will be paid out. If interested, stop by and see me or of you are...

Good to hear there are other Slick owners here in Charlotte. Aside from this rebuild I have a few other things in process you may be interested in. I am with a group of guys (through my CPA practice) that are in the process of forming a non-profit car museum dedicated exclusively to Fords. The museu...

Picking up a 64 this Saturday. Yes I see the grill, headlights and door tags look as though it is a 66. Have been told it's a 64 truck with 66 doors, fenders and hood. Truck has straight front axle so am thinking 64. Either way, the price is right and will get the details of whether 64 or 66 when I ...
