Slim wore custom made boots by Texas boot designer Charlie Dunn, that cost up to $3000 a pair.
(edit)
Slim was a featured performer in the Calgary Stampede, the world's largest annual rodeo in Alberta, Canada, during the 1950s.
(edit)
Slim sang and recorded the country song "Desperadoes Waiting On A Train", as well as singing backing vocals for the soundtrack album of Honeysuckle Rose (1980), which he also acted in.
(edit)
Slim was never shown the entire script for Dr. Strangelove when he filmed his scenes and didn't know it was to be a comedy, which director Stanley Kubrick deliberately did to make his scenes all the more ironic in the context of the movie.
(edit)
Slim allowed his voice to be used for the character of Rube Dugan in the Silver Dollar City theme park attraction, "Rube Dugan's Diving Bell," starting in 1978. This ride would take guests on an underwater tour of Lake Silver, in Branson, Missouri, and was in operation until 1984.
