I picked up a new project and took vacation all in one and now Kim says I can't plan vacation any more...
we spent a week in Tennessee at Natchez Trace State Park after picking up the chop in Sebree KY right below Evansville IN.. about a 1000 mile round trip from home here in West Virginia...[album]

Great score Anthony. Those trucks are my all time favorite. I had one about 35 years ago, oddly no one wanted to ride with me. Looks like it has alot of work already done. Have fun with that one.

I've taken detours on vacations a couple of times to chase slick parts. Once for a windshield in Iowa and once for a uncut dash in MI. The wife tolerates it. I really like the vintage camper. I've been keeping my eyes out for an Alaskan.

What a SUPER-COOL Econo....
From the looks of your Slick, and now the Econo....I take it that you aren't the type who like to draw attention to yourself going down the road...huh?
That's me....I like to be different, even if it's only suttle NO-stand-outish details....
I can't wait to see the Econo finished.....

Love the slick because I love all slicks but that Econoline truck is the bomb! I've always wanted one of those trucks!

We're not going to lose you to some Econoline website/club/forum are we? Looks like a cool project.

well, it was my perfect vacation Orange.. lol
and Alan.. we are looking at it right now... I believe it is possible...
thanks Grump and Bird.. they are my favorites....
had I have known longcab I would have hollered.. I have been off of the mother site way to long...
my wife is very tolerant to me and my addiction Bruce... and I love her for it..
Smiley, when I got back to work I had a contractor come up and say, "was you in Lexington Saturday? I think (get that, think) I seen you." lol how could you miss me... lol
the Econolines are my first love but I need a Brute to do the work for me and there is where my love for the Slick came in.. I have no intentions of getting rid of either but this one here was my driver while I built the Slick... thanks for the cool compliments guys and I will keep everyone updated...

I had been thinking about a delivery business for Slick parts
a while back. Got a flatbed truck to put together with a 300
and automatic in it that I wanted to use! Just wonder if there
would be enough demand for an old boy to make some money
doing that around here. I see people wanting to buy and sell
parts all the time with shipping being the limiting factor. So I
guess my question is would there be enough shipping out there to
to keep me fairly busy? TR
