Welcome from West Virginia. Go on ahead and use what you have.....

..... It is your truck, not ours. All I have is a slick body but it is getting set over on all ford equipment..... 'cause thats what I came up with..... again, WELCOME..

Welcome to Slick 60s.
Some won't like the Caddy Mill here, still - it's old school hot rodding though (I do understand this). I'd keep the straight axle myself but I am partial. BTW, straight axle with Mono leafs, and a disc conversion are kick ass, and require no measuring, cutting, and welding - then you also have the drop axle option.

from Louisiana. I'm a straight axle guy myself, but it's your truck so do what you want with it. I agree with Greg D. A Caddy engine is old school hot rod. I was under the impression that the Camaro clip was better suited to the Fat Fender F100's.
BTW: I think Austin is a great city (at least to visit). I don't know how it is to live there. My teenager has attended some classes at UT Austin for the past two summers so we had an excuse to drive down and spend a long weekend. Great food, great music, and friendly people. Again welcome.

Hello and welcome

I'm fairly new as well. My question is, are you talking about old school cast iron or a Northstar. That would be interesting!

Take your time and enjoy your slick the way it is for now...you may enjoy the six cylinder after a while and just freshen it up.
