My Very First Slick
My Very First Slick
This 64 F-100 Custom Cab short bed was my first Slick. I bought it in 1967. Can't remember for sure but I think I paid 700 or 800 hundred dollars for it.
Michelle, I am no Photoshop expert, and I am a bit color blind.. But when I saw your pic I had to see if I could squeeze a little bit more out of it..Hope you don't mind....foodstick

I hope I always stay crazy, because I know if I ever become sane, it will drive me crazy.

Re: My Very First Slick
Thats pretty cool! My first truck was a 99 ford ranger xlt with flareside bed, 4 speed extended cab. It was in 99. Funny seeing those trucks on the road now- they are beat to hell.
The months may change, but I am always APRIL

The picture was made from an old Kodak Kodachrome slide. The truck was dark blue and white. Probably not as dark as in the picture.orangeRcode wrote:You are a Slickster from way back in the day! Love the color on the truck.
Back in that day especially in Texas big hair was the order of the day, the bigger the better.
I don't know if I was a woman of great foresight or if it was just dumb luck, but I loved the look of the slicks the day they came out in 61. There were twin brothers that had a brand new one during my Senior year in High school. Their truck was a Uni and I loved that truck.
Check out this 61 Uni. Big window. This was made on the back lot of Raymond Pearson Ford in Houston.

Re: My Very First Slick
When you look at that last picture of the red and white truck.. "HOW could you not want one !"
They sold tons of them, so people bought them.. I just don't know how they went so unrecognized/un-respected so long?

By the way, that is not me in the picture above but rather a good friend that was a few years behind me in school. She and I are still good friends to this day. I did wear big hair but not quite as tall as hers. I would post a picture of me with the big hair but I don't want to run any of you off.

Re: My Very First Slick
I remember the girls with their ''Big Hair'' in school.
Don't see how they could get in their cars with their hair
up so high. Think some of 'em used to hide stuff in it! TR

Michelle, a friend's dad worked for Raymond Pearson in those days before turning his sideline wrecking yard into a full time business. You might remember his yard just off Almeda-Genoa and Telephone Road. Not the one directly behind the SuperSlide, although he was an acquaintance also.

Re: My Very First Slick
Was he the one on a side street just off Telephone right near the Super Slide? If so I have bought things from him, I remember the one behind the Super Slide as well. I have bought stuff from him too. He had a bunch of old White Motor Company buses full of car parts, they were old Houston city buses that ran in the forties and fifties.Toyz wrote:Michelle, a friend's dad worked for Raymond Pearson in those days before turning his sideline wrecking yard into a full time business.
