Re: Bringing parts

I have some nice original F250 leaf springs (1964) - both front and rear. Came off a New Mexico truck so they are pretty clean etc.

Re: Speedway Disc Conversion

typically the early stock ford wheels won't work with disk brakes due to the profile of the back side of the wheel interfering with the caliper. But as noted above, the later stock steel wheels ('73 and later) were designed for the caliper clearance and look essentially the same from the side when m...

Re: Long bed

Is this bed the '64-66 style or the earlier one often referred to as the 'wrong bed'?

Re: horn works now!

Madness's comment about the horn honking when he has the turn signal on reminds me - have you all seen the video where a guy 'pranked' his buddy by wiring the horn in his car to the brake pedal??? Hilarious!!! :D

Re: what is being planned

I know there are at least a couple Slick Chicks that are wanting to go to the Arabia Steam Boat Museum sometime. But by no means is that a 'chick flick' type outing....... we have been there before and it's a pretty cool deal regardless of your gender!!!

Re: Grumpy Texan idea....

Can someone educate me a bit on new CBs available today. I haven't looked much yet but my brief search revealed a fairly wide price range for new CBs - anywhere from $40 to ~$300. For the sake of this discussion let's limit it to the low end - there seemed to be a few in the $40-50 range and then th...

Re: Slick Stock 8 Information REVISED!

There is no formal registration for Slick Stock. But as Slick 4x4 noted, you will want to get reservations with the hotel if you want a room. However, as the time gets closer, there will likely be a post on here asking for confirmation on who all is coming - just for the club to get an idea of how m...

Re: Short box saddle tanks?

Yes, the 'inboard' mid mount tanks from the bumps will fit the frame etc. You will have a conflict however, with the parking brake cable.

Re: Rear spring shackle differences

When comparing stock to stock I believe they might be different length also. I know the hangers(riveted to frame) are different when comparing the height of the bolt holes.

Re: 67-72 Taillights in 65-66 Bezels?

Got it -
I am planning to do the same but they are not installed yet so I can't get a picture for you.
(But it should look just like stock except for the white portion of the lens for the reverse lights. )

Re: 67-72 Taillights in 65-66 Bezels?

I'm not sure I understand your question but...... The housing (metal back that bulbs mount in) are interchangeable between the '56/66 and '67/72. '65/66 didn't have reverse lights so if you want the reverse lights, you need to use both the housing and the lenses from the '67-72. The '65/66 trim (bez...

Re: Slick Stock 8 Information

Did anyone else find it interesting that the 'pin' on the map on the hotel link in the first post of this thread is at the Holiday Inn rather than the 4 Points??? Or maybe Google has them labeled wrong?? (Looks like maybe ~8 hotels right there) If Google is correct, it looks like the south side is t...
