Probably Jowilker can remember this far back. I'm sure John Wilkerson has a comment about this. I think he was part of all that was going on in the beginning.
On 3-25-2011 Garbz posted the following:
The term "Slick" as it pertains to 61 to 66 trucks was coined by Chuck Miller of York PA as slick effies and then shortened by "foodstick" to just slicks to name the then fledgling club "slick 60's"
The slang was picked up and published by Gary Pratt of classics truck who had become a club member. It cought on from there and is now accepted as general slang for the 61 to 66 F series trucks. John Gilbert of Custom Classics Trucks also became a club member and promoted the slang.
And that the truth in the shell.
Other notable truck slang:
Effie 54 to 56
Fridge 57 to 60
Bumpside 67 to72
Dentside 73 to 79
Goat Truck 80 to 96 (c)garbz.

Yes,
But the naming did not happen until we moved to yahoo. Then MSN, then to the new format.
First mention of naming the club by Skip Porterfield on 8-31-2000
Yahoo! Groups
Here is where Wyatt AKA Chuck Miller comes up with the basic premise.
Yahoo! Groups
And here is where John Wilkerson uttered the first incantation of "slick60's"
Yahoo! Groups
And here is where "foodstick" aka Lance selected the final version.

It was John who invented it he is just to modest to admit it. And like me never goes there.
