A man really cant have enough old trucks......Can he? Today i bought a 1973 F250 Ranger XLT Camper Special......Body and interior both pretty decent, and a previous owner swapped in a 429. Appears to be a 1973, an emissions sticker on drivers side valve cover lists 1973, and heads are D3VE......its got a factory 4bbl manifold, and a Holley 4bbl. It has no shortage of power, drove well. brakes and steering were solid, and it rode nice. I will actually pick it up tomorrow, and will post pictures of it then.........Its 8100 Gvw, has midship and aft tanks, two tone paint. still has the underbed spare tire mounted, and mirrors appear original. while i would have preferred a 4 spd, its got an automatic..

 

Good for you!! Nope, we can never really have enough,,, my wife thinks I should be in therapy,,, I tell her I am, at NAPA, on FTE, in my garage!!
Congrats on the new ride, pics better be comin!

 

No he can't, buy all you can and enjoy them all, I do.

The only thing better than a bunch of Ford trucks is a bunch of Ford truck parts and a big gun safe FULL of guns.

The grandkids will be like "Dang grandpaw had a bunch of cool ol trucks and guns".

I'm good with that, they will get everything someday. He likes this one already, and is sporting the correct hat, so its his.

 

Amen to the gun safe full. That lil fellow looks like he could be the next Walker Evans. Go ahead and give him the keys.

 

I dont have "the Big gun safe", sadly..........Instead ive got 3 smaller ones, all filled. Lots of things designated by letters and numbers......A___, etc.......and a goodly amount of them projectiles too. Yes indeedy, a man cant have too many Trucks, Bangsticks, fishing rods, OR Storage space to store them.

 

Okay, here it is......Drove nice.

 

That's a beautiful truck good find

 

Nice truck iggybob!!! I always liked those mirrors. I think it could use some roof lights though.

 

Sharp truck, sure looks like it's in good shape, and wagon wheels too.

 

Hell, I'd love to drive that. The color, the mirrors, all good.

 

the tires dont have much left, they are 245/75/16's......ive got the original tires and wheels off my 07 Dodge, they are the basic work truck style steel wheels w/245/70/17 Michelins. I will see if the wheels fit. looking at the warranty plate i see an axle code of 37 J, which ive seen presumably is 3.54.

 

Nice truck, heck yes I'd drive it too.

 

Funny thing, a week earlier i ALMOST bought a 78 F250 4x4, red in color and not nearly as good a shape, but i would have had Red, White, and Blue Dentsides......Im actually glad i got this one, it looks pretty good!

 

x3 on driving that thing. Oh and I'd like to add with a huge grin as well.

 

I do not even know how you got allowed to have that blasphemy in your user name...them moderators need to filter that junk out. lol

If you want a nice chevy is has to be a 1950 5 window cab with a Fulton visor. That is painted "lemon ice" and yes has bed liner on the grill, bumpers, running boards and in the bed. I need NO opinions about that ok, so just keep reading.

This was my dads, he passed away before it got finished. But it got finished just like he wanted it. My mom said I could have it, but I sold it cause it hurt to much to even look at, way to painful reminder that my dad was gone. He never get to enjoy it, so why should I? And I wanted her to have the money anyway.

62-72 chevy lol ya right. NOT. But this one would of been a nice one for the "fleet".
