i could no longer keep "r.i.p.ing" all of our fallen brothers and sisters, so i say here, slick loads of love and much respect to all you beautiful people.
I currently own my very first Slick. 1964, 3.7L 223. However, in the two almost three years that I've owned it I've never had it at the house that I've lived in. It's at my wife's grandparents house waiting for us to buy a house. Thats why it drives my wife crazy when I tell her that a two car detached garage is a must!

I have owned 3. A 64swb 223 3on the tree flareside owned since the early seventies, still have it parked down behind the barn. A 66 swb 300 3 on the tree styleside was my DD now it has been taken over by my son. A 63 292 3 on the tree we traded an 86 ranger xlt for. Oh and at the moment a 78 F150 being cannibalized for it's brakes,steering,motor, and transmission going in to the 66.
As my dad used to say, somewhere there was a horse that died a painful death from terminal constipation due to missing a key part of its anatomy.
I have a '66 CC LWB since 1987. (traded a '73 Beetle) Dreamed all though the 90's and such. Ain't run since 1990. Ended up joining the Navy. Got married, kids, dogs, etc...Then got the bug in'07 and bought '66 SWB for parts and then a '63 Uni BBW and a '63 step for a Father / Son project. Suddenly, the toy money dried up in Jan 2009. No OT or bonuses. Seriously expect '10 to be better.
Lucky to have a patient wife. Not to mention neighbors.
had the two. 63 swb uni "Jinx" now owned by Dean in Medicine Hat,
and my 64 Merc. Would have been finished 2010 but for that infernal clock up above there ^
It's a race.. Will hell freeze over or will JC finish his truck first. Stay tuned..
my first a 64 f-100swb stock 292 three on the tree my 2nd a 61 uni wth a 302 my third 64 swb wth a 302 and my baby now my fourth one and i gave it to my son so i cant sale it when i get mad and tired of tinkering wth it is a 65 f100 thats on my profile swb 400 automatic its not show quality but i still get some thumbs up from the old timers when i take it out around the block.
I guess my signature tells my story.
The two 390" Slicks (and the Ranger) are licensed & insured and driven a few times a month.
-- I did own a '76 2WD, F250 Camper Special edition with a 390" & C6 automatic back in the mid 80's.... It had some Michigan rust, but it was a NICE, straight & strong truck.
I bought it with the plan to sell off the '65 F100. However, when it came time to put a sign in the window of the '65, my family said, "You can't sell the '65."
So long story shorter, the '76 went down the road instead.........

I've had 3. My first was a 64 swb with a 302 that I got when I was in high school and drove every day for 12 years, my future ex wife made me sell it in 85 when I bought a new F100. Then I bought a 66 swb that I had for 2 years but sold to help build our first race car. And now I have my 66 project truck that I'm starting to think I'll never get finished.

If it wasn't on 8 Track it's not worth listning too
I owned 64 CC short bed back in the day. See, I had good vibes about them as far back as the mid 60's, Another 64 CC short bed a few years ago, my big slick and the 65 Ranger now, for a grand total of four. Four of a total of 49 cars and trucks over my life with only three of them being GM's, a 57 Chevy, 72 Oldsmobile, and a 75 Eldorado convertible, all the rest Fords or Ford products.

Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner. A Republic is a well-armed sheep.
I hope I always stay crazy, because I know if I ever become sane, it will drive me crazy.
