I don't think that this truck will ever be done. I can always find something else to change. Now I am starting to wonder if I could convert the suspension and make an autocross truck out of it.

Can a Slick be enjoyed?
Re: Can a Slick be enjoyed?
When I was learning to drive (1973), I hated to drive this truck because it wasn't cool at that time. Now I can't wait to drive it as much as I can. I can't drive it for work being that I do construction work and this truck is retired now. It only gets the pleasure drives. I have 2 other trucks that can do teh work.

Re: Can a Slick be enjoyed?
I have had several Slicks over the years. Had a 65 with a real tired old 240/ 3 speed.
Traded a 65 Dodge telephone service truck for it. Old dude I swapped it to wanted it to use for a work truck.
It had all kinds of storage doors on both sides. I didn't keep it very long due to it using more oil than it did gas.
My how times change. A 300 would've changed that whole truck's life and mine too.
Too bad that didn't happen.
Next I had the one truck that I NEVER EVER should have let get away.
A 61 Custom Cab BBW short Uninody. Oh man, That WAS the best truck I ever had.
Was in the process of doing bodywork on it when I had time, but drove it all the time.
One day I had a brainfart and decided to sell it and the rest is history. Wish I had it back.
Now I have a conglomeration of Slick parts going on to a Dentside frame with power disc brakes
and powersteering, and a 7 X 8.5 foot flatbed going on the back.
At least that is the plan as of now, and I am due to go pickup a 64 shortbed Slick to build too.
I know both of those will keep me busy and I hope to be driving one of them before too much time passes.
And then there is my 57. Have driven it all over until the engine had a hiccup.
No big deal, just a few new parts and it should be a driver again.
I love driving them all anywhere and everywhere.
Just make sure your wipers work, but that's another story! TR
