Your favourite truck at SS

Post by Johnny Canuck »

Every time. I can not help myself but like one truck slightly more than all the other beauties at SS
The first one, I fell in love with Greg the Truckfarmer's son Eric's wrongbox rat rod.
The second one, despite fantastic competition, I just could not help myself with the F-100XL
and this time, It was Cam's totally original '66 for me.

We don't give out awards, and Slickstock is not meant to be a competition, there are so many great trucks there, with equally great stories to accompany each one, but what was YOUR fave?

I gotta go with the Pro Street 66. I know it's trivial, but the custom lid for the master cylinder got me to thinking. I looked all over that truck thinking to myself "I can make stuff like that, hell, that's what I do!" I gotta cast second for the dark green Flare Side. I'm partial to fat rear fenders.
What's in the garage at any given moment?

Favorite truck from SS

Post by Truckrat »

I got to ride in three of them. Don's truck first over to CD's house and back and down to the brewery and pizza joint and back. Then in Truckfarmer's with him and JC out to the Drags and back. Finally with Mike Kimbrell over to the cruise night and pizza and back.
Fred had a neat little camper on his Uni, never had seen a Uni with a camper on it before. Pat had a cool 4x4, only Slick 4x4 I had ever seen.
Not plentiful in Oklahoma. Wish someone had brought a crewcab. Never seen a Slick Crew around here either. I really can't pick a favorite, just enjoyed all the trucks. Good to see so many come to SS with their trucks. We should see even more in 2 years at SS4. TR

I can handle it. I've had a lot of years to build up a thick skin.

Tough question.

I liked the farm heritage trucks like Dave Hermann's 65 and SEMO Truckers. I really liked Pat's 4x4 with the original paint faded on top and worn smooth over the bed rails. I think we convinced him to never paint it.
I heard he picked up another slick on the way home -- probably so he could have one to paint. Hope it has faster valve covers. :lol:

64 Ranger was one sweet truck, red and white just seem right
but Greg D has such a awesome paint scheme on his,
its not complicated, but it just stands out.

Merle's truck has always had a special respect from me, which only grew after a ride in it! Mike Kimbrel's Uni has been an aspiration to me even before I got one, Tim's 65 short is definitely great as I saw it "before", Miss Daisy - nuff said, the way the windline was "accentuated" on the "Harley 66" had to be seen up close to be appreciated, Like JC said Semotrucker's "time capsule" was far too neat to see, Don's & Darrell's trucks..................


Guess I can't pick a favorite, they ALL have something very special about them.
