Slick 60's

I'm not sure what the etiquette for posting pics of other people's trucks are.. but I saw this truck a few blocks away from my house and have never seen a bed like this before...

Me personally I would not like that on my truck or the clearance lights on the back of the cab

weird

Those clearance lights were available as a Ford option. My first Slick was a '65 Camper Special with them (with Ford script on them no less) on the cab.

front and rear axles don't match 8 & 6


Ya, think he had rot and "fixed" it by grafting front wells?

Oh, those look like extended flares?

That my friends is a 66 F350 1 ton with a custom bed. The flared sections are removable to remove the 17" wheel. The eight lug front axle was possibly added later.

A very nice conversion.

Cab lights are DOT requiremnet for 1 ton trucks.

I've passed a truck very similar to that a couple times on the road by Camp Williams, he was going the other way both times...one time he was towing a trailer. Last time I saw it, it was black-ish primer.
The paint job looks fairly fresh, maybe it's the same one?

Etiquette for posting pics of other people's trucks?? Ummm, I dunno about the rest of these guys, but I'd say post 'em if you've got 'em!
Here's one I did last year; http://fordtruk.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=740

I think Slicks look pretty good with a lot of rubber under them.

I know the cab lights on top of truck was an option and are required but the ones one the rear of cab are not an option or are they.

the ones on the top of the cab are original type but if you look real close in the pictures there isa second smaller set on the back of the cab above the rear window

i think its a pretty hot truck.. im not sure i'd want the rear flares on mine... but other than that i think it looks awesome...

I printed up some slick 60s business cards a while back and I suggest you do the same and slip one under his wiper. Perhaps he'll post up a little story for us so we know the truth.

I wonder while on that topic just where the word file is that had that nice slick60s graphic all set for business cards. Is it here somewhere on the new site?

We all should carry a few just for these sorts of occassions.......

don't get me wrong the truck is very nice looking other than the Extra lites on the back of the cab.but thats just my personal opinion. not trying to offend anyone. sorry if I did

Opinions are fine by me. Its not to my taste but it looks like he spent a lot of time making it nice.

All the different permutations of these trucks is gonna drive me nuts.

As for pix of other guy's trucks, I just like knowing I'm not all
alone out here with a jones for old Ford trucks

I didn't see the ones on the back.
That is goofy, in my opinion.

My uncle had one with flares like that on a Camper Special, with dual wheels. Had a HUGE camper on it, slept like 8 people.
