New (To me) 69 F250

Just bought a 69 F250. Spent today fixing a few little odds and ends.

Very nice! AM/FM and A/C too!.. dang, you're a pimp! Black out the left headlight door and repaint that grill guard and all will be golden!

It's funny that the fuel switch plate says "Econo-Tank". There is really nothing "Econo" about an FE.

Oh how I wish my interior wasn't hacked up. That truck is beautiful inside. And out. The grille guard looks kinda cool

That is a nice looking pickup. Is it pretty rust free? Wow, 390, A/c, air, auto. Nice setup.

Looks fairly clean see acouple spots of rust bubbling here and there. What's the overall condition looks decent. You got a lot of accessories on the truck which is always a good thing. Any plans for it or just fix some odds and ends and drive it?

Dang these 69 rangers are getting pulled out of the woodwork lately. Always thought they were rare seems like every 69 on this site has been rangers in the past year.

It's very straight. The only rust I've found is dime sized in the usual spots in the front fenders, a small spot on the front of the driver side cab corner - under the truck- and driver side cab mount. The cab mount is the worst. It's going to need replacing, when I get ready to paint. The other spots can wait too.
Planning on a good cleanup and just driving for now.
I have interior ordered and installed this F600 instrument panel today. I built it for my F100 SWB Flairside. But I just sold the truck, so I wanted to put it to good use.
