Slick 60's

Has anyone every seen a 61-66 truck with the top cutoff? I've got a 63 Uni with the big window and the top is welded to the cab. Guessing thats something unique to the Big window as the 63 step and the 66 LWB I have seem to be one peice at the back of the cab.
The welded seam on 63 BW is rusting. So, would it be possible to cut off the top? The door seems to be the real challenge.

I did have a pic of a local pro-streeted Uni with no top...beats me where I put it, though.

I think it would look great,, if the windshield was chopped a little, the body lowered,, make for a awsome lookin slick,, watch for rain!!!!!!!

Yes cut the roof of it will look great, the best thing you will have ever seen in your life!!!!!

I...mean....I.. really dont know how it will look.............. I just want your roof, and backglass. ':mrgreen:' ':mrgreen:' ':mrgreen:'

That may not be such a good idea on a UNI.
Visible weld??.... Could be that was an original standard window and a P/O had a big window welded in.
Topless slick..try a search for a Good Humor Ice Cream truck

I believe we are referring to this.






I think an ideal way to deal with the door would be to do something like this, especially if going for a removable hardtop effect.

I wondered about the welded seam. Is there anyone else with the big window on a uni that can compare how the back of the cab is put together?

The Good Humor truck is kinda topless, but in a strange way.

That's the one, good job.

There was one that had the top off and made like a old roadster. It was on the front of one of the old parts mags a few years ago. Maybe someone still has the mag and can scan it.

haha WOW. that good humor truck is the strangest slick I have ever seen.... I think the guy that designed it was exercising his sense of humor... haha

you got to give them their due with their design!! love to have those skills,, by the way the bud light taste good right now!! WE LOVE EM TOPLESS!!! WE NEED TOPLESS CHEERLEADERS!!!!!

If the cheerleaders were topless, hmm. I might actually watch football, well maybe not the game.

I tried to think of a worse idea than this but I just can't

Heavy: A worse idea would be that truck with a ----- drivetrain. I feel for the poor truck, especially if it was in Oregon. Maybe a rolling hot tub.

heavy,, ya just need to chop the windsheild a little and she will be cherry,, is that the one with the big block??[/i][/b]

there IS one.
Topless MALE cheerleaders

there are 3 different stampings that are used on the rear of the cab

1 is the conventional cab rear, entire back including window section is 1 piece.
2 and 3 are the uni rear window sections, standard and bbw, they are between the rear roof seam and bed. there should be no visible weld on the outside, the inside has lips top and bottom, spot welded to the roof and cab/bed front.

now here ya go. something of the sort anyway!

I have the cab that is tack welded. A previous owner had repainted the truck, but obviously was unable to stop the corrosion between the metal pieces. What would be the best way to do that?

I'd put a picture here, but how?

At the moment, our site pic albums seem to have lost the ability to upload. You can go to a freebie pic hosting site like; http://photobucket.com/login?link=topmenu and load them there.


BTW, I stumbled on this one currently on eGouge today.
