Slick 60's

1. The first thing will be to resolve Sylvia's engine issues and put in a taller rear while things are apart.

2. Replace the bed floor. All new crossmembers and panels.

3. Suspension work. Including all new pins & bushings, dismantle & clean all the leafs and probably remove one or two, new shocks, and a sway bar.

4. This would be a bonus.. The interior. Including New seat/seats, carpet, paint the interior of the new doors, install all new seals on the new doors and install on the truck.



What is your new year resolution for your slick???

Just to get one of my many projects finished. And not buy too many more. Right Dean.

i hear that.

i am making some progress on my early resolution to clean up my parts mess though.

i can see the top of the bench, and even walk around without kicking or tripping on something. built some shelves and still have a bunch of sorting to do but i took a big bite out of it so far.



all sorts of slick stuff in there

finish the primmer and get the damn thing into the paint shop

Cool idea for a thread.

For the year:

1) dual master cylinder and disc brakes.

2) the "right" wheels and tires - Wheel Vintiques 15x7 and 15x8's (?).

3) finish the 351C rebuild

4) mount the 351C and C6

5) measure / have driveshaft altered.

6) new front valence / pan treatment. I removed the front bumper, and I like how it looks - I also like the stone guard in place, so I'm contemplating fabbing "something".

The first five items are based on being able to stay employed.

i have said i am keeping mine as stock as possible...
probably just put gas in the tank, and change the 710

Go for a ride more often, and yes i need to change my 710 also. Should be broken in by now,

Seatbelts

Although there will always be things to change and improve my #1 goal is to be DONE in 2009.
1. Sound/insulationand volt regulator done middle January
2. side panels covered, additional fuse panel, ignition switch in February
3. Rear bumper replaced in March
4. intermittent wipers in April or May with Robert Potterfields help (hope he is reading this )
5. hood liner in June
6 repaint dash in July and then TAKE PICTURES...........

my goal is to finish it by middle of May 2009.

But....... with all the snow we are getting my time is pretty much spent plowing, fixing tractor, fixing tractor, plowing, plowing, plowing, fixing tractor!

If this keeps up I will have to trade the slick for a snowmobile so I can make it to town for groceries..

start working on it... haha

I need to finish my other truck before I tear into the slick though

Bonneville-August 09.

get my 62 uni running its been to long since i drove it last

My Goals starting in the spring is to get busy on all the body work (I won't do body work in my garage). Pick a color (and not change my mind). Get the body painted and back on the frame before next winter so I can work on the interior in the garge over the winter.

getting ready for SS4 ,,
Get correct column in
Get a/c unit in
Finish my gate
Get the steel Bed in the stepside
Move 4 trucks and 56 out of the garage so I can paint it
Find buried treasure 30 new 65 & 66 supports from Ford
that will keep me busy till next year

Got a good tranny in the brand X plow rig just in time and have been doing the same as Resto ever since plow, plow, plow. I will be plowing today same as yesterday. These darn storms keep rolling in. Just as you get cleaned up from one here comes another. I'll post some pix later on today.

Every one have a Merry Christmas and eat till you can't eat any more.
Enjoy.

What I want to do with my 62 this year.
Ignition switch replaced
new water pump before the one on it fails "292 Y block"
New brakes
Change the rear end "howls more than I like"
In all reality it needs a complete resto but I want to drive it for another year. Maybe next winter's project with the rotissiory finished would make short work of the project.

Collect the parts to fix the damage to the 66.
Thanks to friends from here, the bed has been located.
Trying to decide which chrome bumpers to get.
Either find nice front fenders or take a big leap and buy some of the new aftermarket fenders. Wish I knew if they are any good.

Finally do some of the ideas I have been wanting to since I got the Slick. Turning my lemons into lemonade.

Install dual master cylinder, front disk brakes, and dropped I-beams that are in my shop.

Finish headliner.

My plans for my slick include....

Save Money to finish my slick

Headliner, dash insert and seat upholstered for interior
replace rusted front fenders and tailgate
body work and prep for paint
body... Black over Silver Two tone is the plan for right now

Drive to local cruise ins and to F100 Supernationals in Knoxville.
