Just had to tell someone

My 63 Slick has set in garage since 1995 after I did bodywork/paint work on cab. I have just moved back home to Ark after retiring. I remove the front springs, clean them up and inserted teflon strips between the leaves. Gosh was so surprised about how easy the front end moves up and down (without the shocks) I can only guess how good it will ride after doing the rear springs. Also the engine started on the first try after cleaning plugs, oil in cylinders. and a squirt of gasoline. Had tank clean at radiator shop. Have the front and rear windows replace and the vent and side windows ready to install with Carpenter window kits. Don't know what to do about the vent window lower hinge is broken away from the channel. Thinking about rewelding. Tell me what you think about that. Don't have the 110 dollars for repacement frame. Does anyone have two good one for sale. The glass company cut the vent windows out of thicker glass and I don't know if this will cause trouble trying to closed the vent window. Thanks for listening my rambling but gosh its great to move to drive the truck Don Luster

I may have what you need in my shed. I'll need to get over there and dig. I got a truck bed tool box full of slick parts when I bought the truck and I think there are wind wings in there.

I have all the glass from both doors since I did A WING WINDER ELIMINATION KIT From Bobs F100 Parts. let me know if you need anything I only used the rear track from the OE set and it was all in decent shape being 40 some years old of course. when i took out the wing winders they were pretty tight but smooth (not all ratltly)
