Slick 60's

Not sure if this is the right place for intros but here goes. I've been reading posts here for a couple weeks so I figure I'd post an intro. I have a 66 F-250 green and white with a 390 and 4spd on the floor. So far I've had the radiator tanked and fixed, replaced the alternator and voltage regulator, replaced some gaskets here and there and some rough rust fixing to pass inspection. I'm in Grantville, PA. I'm not sure what plans I have for the truck other than driving it but we shall see. I'd like to get some new wheels and tires possibly since the PO has Dodge ram wheels on, I know I know Here's a pic of my slick. Anyways seems like a nice board you have here.

Welcome to the Slick 60s forum Project 40, looks like a nice Slick you have there.

It's always good to have new members here, there is a great bunch of folks who participate here, so again welcome aboard

Welcome t o the club. I like those wheels, I knew the older Dodge wheels fit but wasn't sure the new ones would. From all the members in PA. that state must be slick heaven. I think its tied with Texas for first place of slick heaven. Seems like those two places has more members than most.

Good looking truck!

Cool truck !! Good people here,you will find all your slick answers here.
WELCOME ABOARD !!!!!!

Welcome aboard, nice looking '66!

If you were to come up with a burning urge to post a bunch more pics of that baby, we wouldn't hold it against you.

Welcome project 40!!! hey I have a question... How do you post pictures
with your message?? like you did with your truck..

Jeff,
In the main menu look in Bug Reports/ Feature Requests forum, scroll about 18 or 20 lines down, and the directions are posted there.. . . . .

You sure do have a purdy truck... That one of those fandangled Ford jobs? What the ram horn on the rims mean? hehehe

Welcome to the slickist place a 60's truck owning kid could ever hope for.

Nice truck. Welcome to the site.

Welcome! Sweet Slick my man. Hope to hear from you again.

Hello and welcome from sunny sout Texas. Looks like the MAC guys have another member. We need to catch up down here. Can't be having more Slick Yankees than Slick Texans
Glad to have you in the family.

Wow! Thanks for the nice welcome everybody. Here's a more recent picture since the seat recovering(mexican blanket) and purchasing the missing trim and "FORD" letters for the grille.

jeffw To post a pic you have to have it hosted somewhere then copy the location and stick it inside of the "IMG" tags you see when you make a new message. The directions on the Bug Reports/ Feature Requests forum are probably a lot more helpful than that.

erf. I think all my trucks outside just got jealous.

welcome

Welcome! Nice looking truck!

My neighbor ran Ford wheels on his Dodge, he didn't believe me until I pointed out the little Ford script and oval on them

Have Fun!

Nice looking SLICK.

I think rims are the sort of thing that gets an exception with the rule that it needs to be Ford. I mean, half the trucks here are running aftermarket. What's better about aftermarket than Dodge?

Rims are personal taste -- getting 8 bolt rims that make you happy is not easy -- If you find what you like, keep em.

My Dad runs a F-250, my cousin runs a Dodge 2500 and they both share trailers that all have 8 blt rims that interchange. Contractors like a work truck that takes a standard rim so they don't have to worry about spares all the time. Is been that way for a LONG time.....

hi!

Beautiful Truck! Grantville used to be my old stomping ground as I used to play Junior Hockey in Hershey. Had a family friend who would let me sleep there when we had the really late games.
Somebody posted that TX and PA must have more slicks than anywhere...I'd have to agree since I've lived in both states. I grew up in "Pennsylvania Dutch" country and in my early Military career I shuttled back and forth between Texas and Oklahoma. Old trucks were (and still are) everywhere. I think it has to do with the old frugal farmer & rancher mentality. Run it till it dies...then get another 50,000 miles out of it! As my Uncle used to say "no need to throw good money away!" If you want proof, go to a Tractor Supply store on a Saturday Morning and look in the parking lot.

Man that truck is purrr- D!
Sounds like you are in about where the last Slickstock was held (York, Pa)
the Mid-Atlantic Chapter (MAC) boys will be glad to have ya!
