Slick 60's

Just joined yesterday due to my father-in -law giving me A 1966 camper special. The hitch? it has been sitting for 20 years outside in Northern Michigan. My son and I spent 4 hrs cutting trees and brush around it. It will need a complete resto but I have been looking for a project and always liked the 60-66 Ford. hope to be getting some good info from this site. I will try to post a picture of the truck on this site. Thanks.

Hey you found THE place to get the RIGHT info


welcome aboard!!

Welcome. You've found the best group of ppl on the net.

You won't find a more friendly or laid back Slick 60 site then this one.
Kick your shoes off and make yourself at home.

welcome aboard, glad to have ya. These guys really do know slicks inside and out. Enjoy the project.

C'mon in, this is the place.

Welcome!

Are you looking at a restoration or a custom?

We have both types here!

cant wait to see pics!

Welcome to the club, The 2nd truck I had and drove it for 10yrs. was a 66' C/S. Enjoy!

Welcome aboard!

Welcome to the club! Where in Michigan are you? Im in Sterling Heights.

Thanks for the welcome. I have uploaded some pix in the album. Let me know if you can view them.

MADMAXETC asked if I was going to do a resto or a custom. I don't know yet but I am leaning toward mild custom.


To Stepside64: I live in Milford but did live in Sterling Heights about the time the 1966 was new.

welcome.
glad to see you got your pics up.
interesting that your truck has the big opening front fenders like a 4x4 & F350.

Looks like a good project. Hope you have fun with it.

It does have 8 lug wheels.

all f250s have 8 lug wheels but usually only the 4x4 and f350 had the big opening fenders.
only other way it would have come from the factory with the big fenders is with the 17.5 or 19.5 wheels.

Welcome to club, pull up a stump

Those pictures bear an uncanny resemblance to what my truck started out as. It has come a long way so letting you know anything is possible. This site has been a huge inspiration and just warning you, it can be addicting

The fenders have probably been swapped sometime in the past, from maybe a bodyshop fix?
This EBAY truck has obviously had it's fenders swapped at one point too.



In the early 90's, I had a friend with a shortbed '66 who had one of each on his truck.


Kekrkaki, your truck looks like it's in pretty decent shape from here.

kekrkaki,

I drive through Milford at least once a week to my girlfreinds place in Howell. We also have another member in Brighton who just joined up recently too... looks like we're starting to get some more members in Michigan. We also have Dan64 who's in whitmore lake, but he hasnt been on here in awhile. Hopefully we can all get together sometime and go to some cruise nights.

Here I am. It has indeed been awhile.

Let me know if you guys ever decide to get together. I sold my '64 shortbox a couple of years back, and am about to tear into my '63 uni. So, I won't have a drivable slick for awhile but it would be nice to see some others.

Hope you all have been well.
