New member here just wanting to show off my baby. It was my dads truck he bought 2 months before I was born. 1976 2wd F100 Ranger XLT bought from Ken Gardener Ford in Chattanooga, TN in October of 75. I hope the picture shows up...

First welcome to FTE!
That's great keeping the truck in the family.
Looks to be good condition stocker, nice!

ScottL · #**1203** (**permalink**) 07-28-2009, 08:12 PM

Thanks effy! It is completely stock and I plan on keeping it that way. After my dad passed away my mom took 6 years to decide whether to give it to me or my brother since we both wanted it. I've had it for 9 years and hope to pass it to my son when he earns it. I would like to buy another one that I could play with a little more but for now she is my one and only. It almost sounds like I'm in love with my truck. Wait a minute I am lol... Thanks again

Nice truck Scott. But did you have to mention when you were born? 1975 is the year I graduated from high school.

ScottL · #**1205** (**permalink**) 07-28-2009, 08:48 PM

Sorry hp246! Didnt mean to make you feel old. I still feel like I just graduated high school but it's been 15 years already. Time passes so fast. I guess we are only as old as we feel. If that's the case, will I ever grow up? lol Probably not.

Thats the great thing about being a guy Scott. We never have to grow up! Just ask my bride of 27 years.

flatford, was the installation easy?

ScottL · #**1208** (**permalink**) 07-28-2009, 08:58 PM

My wife would say the same thing! We have 3 children but she would say that she has 4...

It was relatively easy. I installed it in about 45 minutes.It did come with a template but you do have to cut out the center support of the roof. The only thing is is I don't know how it will work with the factory cardboard headliner. I don't have a headliner yet so I have yet to cross that bridge.

okay, thanks for all the info, most of these trucks interiors are so dark, escially with canopies, and all these trucks are so nice looking

Nice pickup, ScottL.

A neighbor used to have an identical pickup.

Thanks. I saw one that looked just like mine about 5 years ago here in Chattanooga but I haven't seen it since. I have seen a couple of others with a similar paint scheme.
