I check and see what I have that I would consider selling. You might be able to find a set nearer there as shipping would be quite expensive I would think. Not sure what they weigh.

Rotisserie Rental

I have a nice rotisserie that I purchased a few years ago for work on my Slicks. The unit was built by Accessible Systems in Tennessee. It’s a well-built, well-engineered unit with beautiful welds. The owner at the time worked with me to design and build brackets specifically for the Slick trucks. I...

DIY CHROME?

Has anyone tried this product: It's called chrome killer and you can buy a kit at Home Depot for $125. Just wonder what the finished product looks like and how it compares to the powder coating chrome. Seems like either this product or something similar popped up a few years ago. http://alsacorp.com...

Re: 1964 F100 - Power Steering

Most ford power steering boxes will fit. I put one from a 72 f100 in my 66. But you will have to modify or get a new column A 64 and a 66 are different front suspension animals entirely. 64 is straight axle and not a bolt up like the later trucks are for the 65-66 Now you might possibly be able to ...

Slick Shop Unpacking, putting away and etc. continues

Things are progressing with the unpacking of my shop. Trying to sort things out into some kind of a logical category as I go: Door parts (hinges, striker plates, handles, etc in one box. Hood hinges in another, lights in another, new bolts/nuts here, old rusty bolts/nuts there, etc, etc. Then gettin...

Re: Shipping Stock 15" Wheels

Thanks, I hadn't checked prices with Greyhound. One problem with Greyhound (so I heard from a frequent shipper) is that, believe it or not, every place doesn't have Greyhound service. I did take a wheel to the Fedex office today and weighed it. 15" 5 on 5.5, 6" weighed 18.8 lbs. $27.00 and...

Shipping Stock 15" Wheels

I know that at one time, maybe four years ago, you could ship two 15"X6" wheels via USPS for $25. The cheapest I can find is for a package up to 25 lbs via the USPS = $27.10. I don't have a scale, but I think two wheels would weigh more than 25 lbs. Anyone know? Or has anyone found a decen...

Grits is Back

Well, I’m back. After a several year absence, for the most part, from Slick 60’s I have returned. I’ve checked in a few times but didn’t have much to talk about. I feel I almost need to reintroduce myself as there are so many new names on the site. I think I had just gotten burned out on my slicks. ...
