Hey Ross, welcome to FTE, lot's of good, knowledgeable people here more than willing to answer any questions you might have.
Looks like you've got a nice truck there, congratulations.
Restore what?? That truck looks just fine to all of us. Pull one out of a field that's been there for a while and restore that one. Leave your current beauty alone and enjoy it as is.
Welcome to FTE. Do you have any more pictures? We all love pictures!
I'll get some more posted up soon.

It did have a tool box and I'm thinking I'll probably be removing the rails.

It's a 20 footer. Closer inspection would reveal, several dings, scratches, paint chips, etc. It needs A/C repair and the power steering is acting up. It works perfect turning left, but barely works at all turning right. Just a lot of odds and ends here and there to restore/make better. It should be fun. I spent 1/2 the day yesterday on LMC's website. Haha.
Buy a Hemmings Motor News. From the section on Truck Parts, order parts
catalogs on line. Good Luck

Hi Ross,
Where are you from? I have a purple 75 Ranger XLT, 2wd, 390 auto, ac.
My drivers door is also apart to replace the vent-glass weather-strip and install speakers.
My freebie Alpine amp is only 2 channel -30watts each. Alpine says it is not enough to
drive the pair of 12s behind the seat. Open to suggestions or a better freebe amp.
