Slick 60's

Hi,

I just joined and hoping to find some helpful info in getting my latest project up and running.

It's a 1963 F100, 223, 3 on the tree, Ice Cream Truck!

It needs a carb, air cleaner, rear brake work, steering box...and whatever else I discover as I dig into it. So if anyone near me in Madison, Wisconsin has some parts, let me know.

It's a Florida truck so the body isn't too bad. I Hope to at least get it driveable this summer and work on the shiny stuff this fall and spring.

Below is a picture.

Thanks,
Craig

cool! literally. lol. i know we have one other ice cream truck on here and one or two over at fordification.

here is "the good humor man"'s website.

Cool! Pun intended!

If I had any of those parts I would swap them for Nutty buddy cones!

Looks like it's going to be a neat resto, guarantee everyone will be your friend at the car shows on a hot day if you have it loaded up with popsicles and ice cream bars!

Very" cool" truck it's great to see one more getting restored. from the U.P. of Michigan.

would be nice if you would get it to SS4...

Welcome to the site. And like Pat said it would be cool to have it at SS4.. Don't worry if it's not finished we would love to see it in any condition. I know I would like to see it. Keep us updated on progress..

Sweet Slick!!! Welcome to the site!!!

I love those hubcaps!!

Small world! I called on that truck a while ago. Talked to the owner in Florida. How'd you get it back to Wisconsin? He said the gas tank was junk. Glad to see it went to someone on the site.

That is just plain Sweet and Cool!!! Love the truck, the first one I have seen a picture of...

welcome to the site for slicks... I'm looking forward to watching this build progress..... Anthony

Welcome to the site.
I hope you know that kids will be following you everywhere you go wanting ice cream.
Awesome truck. Keep the pics coming.

Welcome!!!

Great truck!!

You'll want to think about brakes. In 63, one year only, the slicks had single sided wheel cylinders. You can upgrade to a dual piston wheel cylinder or even disc brakes.

Those trucks were built by Hackney Brothers in Wilson, NC.

Welcome to Slick 60s.
If the temp is adjustable we could use it for Beer at Slick Stock!

G`day Craig! and Welcome to Slicks, that is one special project your`ve got there! it will be one very keenly watched build!







Greg, you beat me to the alternative use punch line!, so how many stubbies do you reckon we can fit in there?, saying 4x the area of beer needs to be ice!, on a hot Iowa night!

Not to be repetitious...but VERY COOOOOOOOOL! Be sure to post an introduction on the "Truck Talk" section. Lots of folks don't have the time to get over to the Projects section very often and we wouldn't want them to miss out on your unique slick. Oh yeah, welcome from Louisiana

driving it to SS4, going down intersatate, without any doors on it might be a bit interesting....
this might make you a good tow vehicle....
