Slick's do have good heaters! Even with all my rust holes I still sweat even on the coldest of days.

Rob, what kind of temp we talking about ,50 degrees maybe? true test of heater is at below 0 temps and is how well it keeps the windows thawed so you can see out them.slick defrosters are at a disadvantage due to the 2 tiny openings at the center of the dash, therefore it is advisable to keep the visor part way down to deflect the heat on the windshield.

Hahah, thats one of the few things that doesn't work on the '66. Go figure the one time we actually drove it a distance was when it was 5 degrees out.

reminds me of a time when I actually used to drive my slick.
A buddy and I towed my 16ft boat up to were I kept it in the water for the summer with my slick.Launched the boat we decided since the lake was nice and quiet 5pm on a weekday we should go for a quick rip up the lake and back.Air temp 40 water temp 35 wind speed 45 mph wind chill - something. needless to say get in slick drive in to town grab a big mac at Ronnies eat it there we are still frozen. walk out to the parking lot take off coat for 2 hour drive home . buddy looks at me like Iam nuts. Says heaters in these old ford trucks don't work keep your coat on. Smile comes to my face he has challanged the honor of my Slick. I snap back this truck willhave you sweating and out of your coat befors we get 20 minutes down the road. He laughs says I am nuts and we will be allthe way home before his coat warms him up.Start out up the fan on fullspeed temp to max 10 minutes down the road he is peeling his jacket of begging me to turn the heater down. And that was the last time he ever dissed my Slick
