69 Ranger

Just got this bumper 3 weeks ago, in process of going through it. Great site. 390, C6, 9 inch, 3.50 gearing. Fairly solid, daily driver.

Welcome to the Bumpside section.

There must have been a LOT of Rangers built in '69. There are a number of us here that own a '69 Ranger.

This one is mine.



I've added a lot of stuff to it, especially in the last 5 or 6 months. The only major item I don't have is A/C but, I have some of the components gathered for it.

Still lots of things left to fix and improve upon but, it's in pretty good shape for an old truck.

Link to things I've added/changed.

What are the plans for your truck?

That's a great color Ultra, I love green. So be advised aftermarket deep trans pans won't clear the crossmember. I could have put a jack under the tail shaft & moved crossmember, but started to rain. So that'll be next time.



Old cork gasket leaked bad.





New filter on, ATF is good for the skin





Lock tite, had 1 stripped hole in trans case, used Teflon tape for it, we'll see....

Welcome to the forum and owning a 69 ranger. Lots of 69 rangers been popping up all over the place in the past year. I myself got 2 of them in the last year. Post some pics up of the rear suspension and the stance of it after the coil overs.

They made no difference in stance, but the ride is much stiffer, need to lower the front about 1". Don't really wanna drop it, would those coil spring compressors that you adjust do the trick?
Thanks
Mike
