New '65 Flareside owner
New '65 Flareside owner
Greetings from a 1st time Slick owner and 1st time poster. I bought this single-family owned '65 flareside a few weeks ago and have been learning the ins and outs as best as I can make out but there are a few things I have some questions about. Rather than list a bunch here I will leave this as more of an introduction and separate some questions into separate posts. Since the pictures were taken I've replaced plugs, wires, fuel pump, hoses, thermostat and housing, and a badly needed oil change as it hadn't been tabbed or driven much since 2006. Needs some more work as some guages aren't working but that's another post. It used to be green but had been painted red (sans primer or even sanding based on how bad the paint is flaking off everywhere!). I know how much everyone appreciates pictures so here you go!

Welcome to a fellow Washingtonian. Another clue as to it being something other than a off the lot truck. A DSO with 6 digits. Shows it was ordered in Special and not purchased off the lot. Could have been a Forest Service vehical. They used alot of this type of truck I dont remember seeing dark green on them more of a pea green color. Looks like a solid truck have fun with it.

Re: New '65 Flareside owner
You guys were right, it was a Bell truck. I found this decal under the previous owners paint job:
“No job is so important and no service is so urgent that we cannot take time to perform our work safely.”
