It struck again (Slickitis)

[slixtyfive]

I had a relapse today - although I'm not sure you can call it a relapse if I was never in remission.?.?.?

Will tell and show more in the next couple days since its late(and dark) and I need to get to bed but here is a 'sneak preview'.

Being dark, looks like either a short wide, or a uni! Some assembly required?

Currently battling an urge to give a '66 F250 4x4 a home.

Well I didn't get more pics taken before it was already kind of dark again tonight but here is a little more info.

'62 shortbed uni. Someone elses abandoned project that is completely dis-assembled except for the suspension. That will just save me time -right?? Probably will be some things missing but I'm sure you all will be able to help me fill those gaps when the time comes.

Overall its pretty solid - no, very solid for around here. It has a California ID tag so it appears it spent a good part of its life out west. It needs a little rust repair at the bottom of the cowl (area behind lower fender) and outer edge of the front cab mounts. Right front fender is pretty beat up so i'll find a replacement for that and the right side of the bed will need some body work - I don' think it is anything major but won't know for sure until I get all the old bodywork ('putty') off to see for sure what I have. Tailgate has some rust and dings etc but it appears to be fixable. Oh and it came with a '86 302/AOD in the bed too.

Nice project...It does look pretty solid.

I will be heading to Illinois this summer if you need some rust free Arizona parts delivered...

Solid find! It looks like a good start to build something great off of.
