I don't think Slicks quilify to be called "HiBoys"
They are a 1967-1977.5 F-250 Factory 4x4. (There a couple other things,but thats the quick defintion...)
So whats with the "01" on your door?
Zip,I'M sure no one will mind...
I don't own a slick and I love them!
Yeah, i know i made the name before i did the research, because i couldn't do the research without a name. So im just gonna roll with the name and hope not too many people notice, and the 01 was there when i got the truck. Im deciding wether to repaint and put a new 01 on it, or some other number.
Well here she is...... She has been sitting for about 11-12 years at my Mom's house and my Father-in-law is bringing it down to me in a couple of weeks, June 26th to be exact. I'm getting excitied to start working on it as a project truck. By no means will be a full restore. I am doing a resto-mod on it and just want a mild at best truck that has a nice hum to it.
great trucks here. cant wait to start posting pics of my upsoming 62 F100 stepside project. gonna be one heck of a project. starting with a rusty shell and a rebuilt 390FE.
Great trucks guys. Hope you don't mind me hanging out here having an 03. This is one of my favorite vintage of Fords.
Your're certainly welcome to hang out with us. I must warn you though, Slickitis i.e. the acquisition, owning, collection and restoration/refurbishment of "Slicks" (61-66 Ford Trucks) is very, very contagious.

My uncle and my grandpa did a three way trade/sale with me back in '95. My G-Pa gave my uncle (his son) a '78 Silverado, nice truck for a Chevy. My G-Pa got a NEW '95 F150 Ext Cab. I bought the '65 for $1. Just in my price range for a junior in high school.
Anyway the head gasket blew out and i changed it out by then it got to be a nickel and dime affair for an impatient kid so I parked it. Me and a "friend" of mine were going to rebuild the 289 that was in it. The 289/C4 combo was from a 67 Mustang that my uncle put in it after the 390 that the guy before him had in it was beyond repair. Well, me and my "friend" had a falling out and I didn't know enough about cars/trucks at the time to do it.
Well, times have changed and here I go to bring her back to glory. I will be leaning on my Father-in-law who know a lot about cars and all of my fellow FTE members to guide me along to success.
oh yeah.... 390/C6 is what I am going to put in it. I already have the 390 in the garage, Thanks to my wifes uncle for GIVING it to me. All I had to do was drive to Santa Barbara to get it. Sweet deal huh?? Still looking for a C6 though
