My Son's truck has those wheels, I kinda like 'em.

Probably spent too much time as a kid watching the Dukes, I guess.

After looking everything over,thought to myself,you can change the wheels,paint it,and put in proper power plant. I bought it based on good Ga. truck w/VERY little rust issues and running driver. It got me to SS-2
and home! Though she sits silent,she will roar once more. Larry

My point exactly.

I saw Larry's truck at Slickstock 2 and he would have had a hard time finding a better place to start. Super nice short-wide body. Plus he had a truck he could use right now and enjoy until he built the engine of his choice. Thanks, Lyman.

I have to jump in on this one I picked up my Uni with a 455 Olds engine in it, now I call it my rescued Truck ...the Olds motor went on ebay and paid for the Truck (almost) now I have my baby with a 351 Cleveland where she belongs in my Uni. If I hadn't made the swap it would just be another Ford with a GM motor. It is up to us to save these Trucks from those who bastardize them. I think we should buy every Ford with a brand X motor and Rescue them. This could be the Slicks rescue Society now someone should win the Lottery so we can go forward................... OK LETS DO IT ONE AT A TIME.

Kind of like finding out your dream woman has herpes. You don't open the hood all that often but it makes you sick eveytime you do.

Yeah driving that truck would be a lot like driving a Moped,
it would be a lot of fun till somebody caught ya on it.

best thing to do with one of those is buy one of these to put the engine in.
saves junking it and you can make $ off a chebby fan.

Comes with all those fine Chebby features of the era, I see. Did he mention sagging coil springs?
