Slick 60's

This morning deivered some of our sheet metal to a customer in Pa. building a 66 F-600 all wheel drive powered by a 460 sitting on 8:25x20" rubber, this truck is sitting very high & looks like it could pull anything down it had to ,all military front & rear ends, frame shortend to go with a stock long bed from a 66 pickup, He showed me the picture of what it looked like 25 years ago & what a change, he has the factory hood scoop so he said will hook up also, Painting is going to be Caterpillar yellow & black... Anyway it just shows that pickups are not the only ones being built in the 61-66 class, that big trucks & the N-Series are being done It's really nice that once in awhile I can see some of these trucks, 3rd truck in 3 weeks that I saw that where 4x4 material

That sounds like it's gonna be a sweet lookin' truck when he's done.

I may have a new best buddy.

Yes in Mountaintop, Pa. off I-81 around exit 155

Yes that's me. I live off the nuangola exit. there's also the dorrance exit. Not sure the numbers. Was it a business? If you speak to him again pass along that another slicker is in the area.



It will not be this color combo forever. I plan to paint the wheels fire engine red to offset with the canary yellow and tang orange flames.


I'd be glad to know another slick owner.

Nice Flames,,, we got off the Dorrance Exit, Next time I talk to him or send him something I will print these pages so he could get on this site, He does some kind of construction work....

Thanks, The PO did a nice job on the paint just not my style. I gag when I look at it, but its got real good metal.

Wifey wants aqua/white

I have a set of 8 lug slots I'm puttng on soon and then I'll decide color. not sure aqua/white will look right with slots. May go or flat black or start a new trend and go flat maroon.

For a look at what a stock turquoise/white 66 with aluminum slots looks like, go to www.badgerlandf100s.com . Look at the photos of the 17th Dash to the Dells (2006). There is a nice 66 there that was one of the feature trucks for 2006, the 40th anniversary for the 66.

maybe a series of 10 per side wide purple stripes would give it the genuine
"Easter egg" look.

I had a factory taped truck I called the easter egg truck, not far off that color scheme. I HATED that truck.

Norville,
tell me some more about that yellow truck.
I built one a few years ago the same color but the flames were blue.
Does it have a gas tank under the bed?
I wonder if it was my old one.
sure looks like mine.
how long have you had it?
