Slick 60's

Hi,
I'm cleaning my garage and have an extra hood for a slick. It is rust free and has the typical small crease across the middle. I was going to cut it and use it to fab some parts for another project --- but I hate to cut up good parts. 50 bucks takes it. I'm in Omaha.

Hah. and Dwight always says there are no good hoods left.

Dude-- many parts of the country hoods are hard to come by. What do you mean by crease down the middle? I assume that someome dented it down and then popped it back up?

I'd bet that someone who travels to SlickStock later this year might offer a lot more if its rust free and not too dinged up. Omaha is close enough that someone who wanted a hood would pick it up I am sure.

Not dinged up at all. There is the little crease across the raised portion in the center. Same place every slick hood I have gets. Comes from raising it in the center, I think.

I paid $300 for one that still needs several hours of corrective work.
You cut that one up and I may have to put a contract out on your life.
Bring it east...it could pay for a lot of your fuel. We've got nothing but rotted, useless hoods where I live.

Hoods are a bugger to ship. I don't need it, but if someone wants it, figure out how to come to slick stock later this year or have some who is going to slickstock bring iit back home.

I would even store it here in KC till slickstock, but I am not volunteering to go get it from Omaha. 173 miles is not that bad, but not a Sunday afternoon drive either.....

I looked and searched for about 2 years for my perfect hood -- came off an F600 grain truck that never had any kids or haybales on the hood. No creases, no dings. Nada.... I got it cheap, but that's not fair to compare, because the fellow I got it from did not know what it was worth to me and I wasn't talking.......

BTW,

I just got curious about TeamHaney and took a closer look at his pics.

Somebody please pay him to deliver that hood to slickstock and bring that very nice looking truck along with it. 171 miles would be a good afternoon drive for that truck, keep all the moving parts limber.....

Seriously, nice truck. I like your pic in front of the old filling station -- where is it taken? I have this dream of towing an old Airstream camper around the country with my truck someday = be so cool to pull into a campground looking right out of 1965.

I agree, that is a great looking picture.

Hey Cdherman, do you have the Airstream book, has great pics of slicks pulling then new Airstreams throughout!

That is a great shot and a really cool rock building station!

Heck, I didn't realize SlickStock was in KC. I've made the trip there twice in my 65 already. I'll plan on storing the hood till then and bring it down. I have some old fenders that need a new home too that will fit. Thanks. See you all then.

Oh yeah, the gas station is in Correctionville, IA. You'd think there would be a prison there too but there isn't.

I plan to post up a listing of slickstock "swap/sell parts" sometime in the next couple months.

I think there are many of us that have stuff that is tough to ship and with members coming from all corners of the country, this will be an opportunity for folks to get free shipping. Even some people that cannot come to slickstock may be able to find a friend to drag something back.

I for one will have two 64-66 tailgates available -- tough item to ship for under about $100, but if there are folks comeing to slick stock that would like one, I'll be selling for what I have in them.........

I'm also hopeing that someone has a stock 61-65 "innie" rim, 6 1/2" wide, for my 65. I figure someone has one and for $20 or free beer I can get it out of them!!

No beer or coercion required. If I am able to get to SS, we could trade if you have a later rim to fit over my disk brakes. I am using a "innie" wheel for my spare and if I have a flat on the front, I would have to do an extra tire change.

I can show you where to grind on the caliper to make the orginal rims fit. Only some minor fitting, nothing that reduces strength/safety.

But I sure would like an innie rim too!!!
