Slick 60's

So this past Saturday I picked up my FIRST driveable slick.. All the boys I have class with called me crazy, ignorant, and stupid for trading my s10 for it.. but they like the new luxuries..

Well it's a 1963 f100 short wheel base Flareside. 302 3 speed (1972 model) manual steering, manual brakes (For now that is) needs some things like a heater box, clutch, exhaust leak fixed, but nothing too much. 10 inch wide american racing Wheels with 60's on them... Little tough with the manual steering.. haha

Congrats on the new ride. It looks good.
You are still young, you can handle the armstrong steering.

Kevin

nice.

go split 10 cords of firewood, you will forget all about the manual steering

whats your old man up to these days?

Working on the highboy and trying to get the econo back on the road

Nice looking 63! Always a great trade when you can unload a chevy and get a running classic!

Zak looks like a pretty decent slick and the bonus is other than your Pop's you wont be passing many on the road count how many S10's you pass at the same time .

Actually most of the s10s will be in the wrecking yard. Way better choice!

That looks lke a real sweet Flareside. WAY better than an S10. Should hold it's value better too.

Well last night she got a new a new clutch, LOCKING gas cap seems how tank is in the bed, and 13 psi radiator cap instead of the 16 psi. Found out it is cheaper to replace the king pins than it is those tires... haha. oh and driving home last night with a new clutch, out a back road, the head lights decided to go out.. had to bypass the dimmer switch. Going strong and running better than the day I got it..

Congrats oh the progress

Mike

Wishful thinking....

Zak Save up your money and have Pops bring you out to the Street Rod Nats here in Louisville next summer . I picked up a full set of Coy's C5's ( looks just like a Torque thrust ) Chromed rims 15 X 7 fronts 15 X 10's for out back for $630.00 out the door Tax included with a set of lug nuts and chrome valve stems all brand new from the Coy's Boy's . Theres some killer deals to be had at the show on rims .


The show is the beginning of August so you have plenty of time to stash away some cash .

Nice truck dude!

Today I ordered flowtech long tube headers before I left work.. I am hoping that they clear my clutch rod coming off the frame... we will see tomorrow.

Cool. BTW, you like air mail?

Air mail? and my headers came in today... Not one of the best coatings on them, but they should work..

Nice!

Yeah, your shirt says "air mail" in French... kinda different...

Well my headers didn't clear so I had to take them back.. and I did find a manifold at a junk yard here close for 35$ I had to modify my exhaust pipe but it works!
