Hi All
My name is Randy and this is my old work, play and above all else a truck I have enjoyed having for 31 years. It is a 1976 F-250 Ranger Camper Special with a 460 stroked to 557 c.i., a C-6 with a trans-cooler and a 4.10 rear-end. It has worked very well pulling my different RV trailers and work tractors over all these years. I am looking forward to posting with you all and enjoying hearing about and seeing your trucks.
