Slick rotting away
Over by the scrap recycling yard in Ventura theres a lot full of old cars but no one is ever there and theres only a number on the gate for emergencies, Ive always looked and the old cars rotting away there (i doubt anyone has been in the lot for several years now) and noticed not to long ago there is a Slick tow truck sitting there in the middle of the lot. the body looks straight and it still has the old hook and arm for towing, once the 63 is back together im gonna drive over there and see if i can figure out who owns the lot and see if hes interested in selling any of the vehicles that are there. id hate to see all these good project cars go to waste, most appear to be straight with some rust but i havent been able to get close enough to see how bad

they just plain look slick!
1967-72 trucks are called "Bumps" or "Bumpsides" as they have a bump running down the sides, and 1971-79 are called "Dentsides" for the opposite reason.

Call the number on the gate. Maybe they know who owns it and how to get ahold of that person. Nothing ventured nothing gained. Might also be the person that knows all about the place and owns the truck. Worst they can say is nothing for sale and leave the place alone. Or might say yea everthing is up for grabs.

Very true.
I would love a picture of that lot if you get a chance. (what I mean by that is I expect that you will find one of my top three wishlist project vehicles and I want to torture myself with the prospect of making it work while ultimately deciding to stay with my current project
)

Finally got over to the lot today, Id never seen anyone at the lot and by coincidence the owner was there. The truck appears to be a 63, it is however a F350 2wd with a 360 and 4spd. He wants $800 and says the truck ran a year ago.
i also was able to shoot some other pics of a few cars in the lot however this is the only truck
