Lets see some some Slick 60s F100s!

heres a few shots of my 66 and refreshed motor

 

That is a cool shade of red... what paint is that?

I love these trucks in a suede finish!

 

Yea sweet truck John, and your welcome.. for all that help taking out and putting in that big som bitch 429..haha. Now hook up that damn fuel gauge so we dont get stranded anymore..

 

Thats a real rough coat of red primer put on by the autobody class of the dude i bought it from. needs some tlc. also wish my shelby valve covers had come in ill put another pic up when i get em in from the Ebay.

 

Here's my 62 custom cab, except there isn't much custom about it yet. had the 223 machined and i'm assembling it now. it's real clean. po maintained the heck out of it before he died and it sat for several years, and it blew a head gasket two weeks after buying it (stuck heat riser valve in exhaust manifold). i got an edmunds dual carb intake for the 223, and i'm going to make it a mild custom daily driver. It was a daily driver for 2 weeks until it got hot.

Stumpjumper,

Cool that you kept the 223.
Once the truck is done, I believe it will also qualify for mention in the "So who has a STRAIGHT Six in their hot rod" thread (hint, hint )

Right on, man.

Yeah, My father in law is keeping his 223, pretty sweet little setup.

 

here is my 61 uni just lowered it

 

Nice work man!

 

Tell us a little bit about how you lowered it?

 

I've had my old truck on the HAMB plenty.....

Never had a functioning temp gauge...never boiled over!

 

Hey Jeem you had a heck of a nice truck there... cute kid that got it... have you seen many guys replicating your econoline grill?

 

i just welded new perches on the rear and put it over the springs and i made a flip kit for the front to do the same just brackets that fit around the axle and the the ubolts go thru the new bracket and the original

 

Here's my SLICK `68 F100. it's only slick due to the original 360 leaking like a sieve...

It does a great job of hauling my scooters and other shit around when needed...

 

Here is one I sold over 20 years ago and wish I haddent.

And here is the one I found to replace it 3 months ago.

 

good find there!

 

The back sounds pretty strait-forward. Any pix of the front?

 

The last 3 are Bumps, not Slicks.

 

yeah, but still cool... im glad they posted though... I like the bumps... not a big fan of the dentsides though. their ok. but ehhh.. not a big fan of the 70s.

 

Thanks for the history. I love how you kep it in the period fomoco family with the econoline grill. I just scored a split front bumper from an edsel at the junkyard on saturday. I'm plannin on using it for a back bumper on my 62 step side. It has a lot of wrap around on the side like the original step side bumper.

 

Got pics of your interior?

saw a 66 f100 for sale in branson mo for 8500 at the dick clark museum of automobiles.
it has a 352... tan color... fairly clean... longbed. I will look for some pics. I meant to take one.

 

Cool thread. I have 61 uni that i am working on will have to take some pics and post.
I did not know that so many people liked this group of ford pick-ups.

 

I got 1/2 of a 60's f100 I think, any one know the year? anyone need a bed?

 

Looks like someone got the 1/2 off deal.

 

come and join the group!!
post some pics....doesnt matter what the shape or color or condition...

The 61-66 Ford F100 Alliance A group that is all about 61-66 f100s and the guys that love them

 

Here is my dads '66, 352 Thunderbird motor, auto with 9 inch rear...He lives in South Carolina and I have never seen the truck in person but I think he wants to sell it...if interested, PM me...Later ~Eric

 

pics didnt work...

 

The ONLY stock, mundane type American vehicle I would LOVE to own is a late 60's "bumpside" shortbed. Brown paint, white wheels, stock dogdish caps and just use it as a pickup....
Whutta concept!
