Slick 60s Friends: Well I got the 62 F-250 sold to nice Gentleman in Kansas. It'll be delivered to him right after the new year. I referred him to this site so hopefully he'll be joining soon with his new toy. By the way...Any discussions about the value of our slicks going down has been GREATLY OVE...

If I end up keeping my 62, I'm ordering a set of Rams Horns from Mummert in the Spring. I've been putting off changing out those old headers long enough!

It's funny how in 2008, we'd give anything for an unmolested dashboard (I'm lucky enough to have one) but in 1978 we'd have cut the hole with anything we had available to install our new Pioneer Super Tuner II cassette deck!! Times sure do change.

I'm hoping to eventually get an early 50s Ford COE flatbed to make a hauler to get my 55 Wagon to shows. The only problem is that in Jersey, with the GVWR on those old trucks, I'd need a CDL! One way around that would be to mount the body on a modern F-350 rollback chassis as I've seen many guys do....

As you know I have my 62 For sale on Craigslist. I certainly have had a lot of interest...too bad it's been mostly bull$#&*! So far, I've been offered in trade: a "good Russian Woman," a Barret Jackson Winning 68 Camaro, and a baby grand piano. The best though was a Nigerian Prince who...

I posted this in the For Sale section but I wanted to take a moment to say thanks to all of the great folks here at Slick 60s who've pretty much taught me how to own, love and maintain my early 60s Ford Truck. Truth is, I just don't have the room to properly care for 3 classic vehicles. We'd planned...

I use stabil and try to run each of the old vehicles once a week just to keep fuel flowing through the carb. If we get occasional nice weather (as we sometimes do here in Jersey) and the roads aren't loaded with salt residue, I'll even take 'em out for mid-winter stretch.

I hate wiring with a passion and terrible at it to boot. I would like to hire someone to rewire my truck( 65 short box) I have a flasher unit to wire in too. basically i want to drop off my truck and pick it up with brand new wiring end to end and everything work and pay someone for that service. w...

You can get the "Delco style" 1 wire alternator at any reputable speed shop or on line at Jegs or Summit. As for the correct brackets for it, go to http://www.fifthaveinternetgarage.com/ They've got Delco style alternator brackets for just about every vintage engine out there. Unless you'r...

From our friends on Y-Blocks forever forum; Check out these guys; http://www.autoelec.com/ They make a modern gear reduction starter specifically for Y-Blocks. It's much lighter than the stock unit. It engages from the front vs. our starters engaging from the rear but the bendix is specially machine...

Well Done Sir!!

Yes, thanks so much!!!!!!! :notworthy: Great find. :notworthy: I saw this post Wednesday ordered it Thursday and Got it today through dad's garage for cost, $169.00. I set it in and it looks fantastic!!! I also came with an adapter peice on the top neck. I'm not sure I'll need it but it could turn ...

If anybody is interested, Here is a pic and details: By the way, I see Rock Auto has it online for $163. http://info.rockauto.com/GoDan/Detail2.html?www.pliii.com/productcatalog/catalog.asp?partnum=433444 Part # 433444 Manufacturer: Proliance Core Size: 19 1/4 x 26 1/4 x 2 No. of Rows: 3 Tank Inlet:...

After 1 week of research, a few outrageous estimates to repair my "classic" radiator, and seeing that a "proper" OEM replacement from LMC runs about $465, I finally found a good quality substitute for my 62 that fit with minimal headaches. Here's the best part...$199 bucks! :lol:...

I've got the same truck except for 1962 vs 1963. It was in average shape with minimal rust, an old but reliable 292 and a decent interior. I paid almost 6K for mine but that's what a clean older truck goes for here in the Northeast "Rust Belt." Other than Carburetor and Radiator issues, it...

replaced my 292 radiator with one from a 65 with 352. radiator bolted right in, had to get a aftermarket hose and adapter for the top due to the gooseneck on the y being a smaller diameter than the FE. bottom hose was from the FE. ICEMAN: I think I'm going to take your suggestion and just order a 6...

Good find Tom! Hey, it was great seeing you at Carlisle again.

Yeah, I probably should have included that in my original post since it's pretty important! It's a 292 with a manual 4 speed trans (granny low)
Thanks!!

I'm looking for a complete new replacement or a repairable old radiator for my 62 F-250 4 x 4. It seems that mine is too far gone to save. It leaks from the upper and lower tanks plus the core shoots out a few high pressure jets of Prestone if it ever builds up any pressure at all! Radiator shops in...

Similar problem on my 62. The seams on both top and bottom tanks are about ready to go. the core isn't far behind. Most places don't stock or sell anything older than 1965. There's an old time radiator shop in the next town. I'm hoping he can repair my tanks, mate them to a new core, and solder on m...
