Here is mine. 79 f250 ranger lariat. 2wd 460 c6. 2nd owner. All original. Getting a 4wd conversion and a 12v here soon!

 

Great looking truck.

 

Love that green on your rig.

 

New shoes.

 

looks nice. What wheel/tire size?

 

17X8 American Racing Outlaw II's and LT315/70R17 Goodyear Duratrac's.

 

Cool! I also liked the rims style...it kinda matches the tire sidewall pattern...

 

That's my 76... Just recently bought... it shows its age but not too rusty...

 

Beautiful rig. Will you keep it all original? Did you get s good price?

 

Paid 500 Canadian dollar for it....

I dunno what to do with her yet... most likely keep it original... for now I'm cleaning the interior and gonna leave the exterior as is... dirty and faded...

I was impressed with the seats vinyl quality when I pulled off the fluffy "pimp" covers... not a single tear...




My knowledge of Ford trucks is absolutely ZERO, I wanna learn a bit before I think of doing anything...

I'm glad your keeping it original.. I say add some clearcoat to protect the paint, and change the headlights to something brighter.
The seat quality look great..

Maybe replace the tires if they are bad.

 

Clearcoat? What's that? those enamel sprays?

Tire treads are good! rubber is starting to get cracked though...

 

There is a date code on the sidewall of the tire. You may want to decode it before thinking about driving far or fast.

My nearly new looking Michelin tires turned out to be 18 years old! I picked up a set of Laufenn x fit at's from Discount Tire for about $450 out the door. They are mud and snow rated with the little snowflake. I've pony owned 'em for a few months so no idea how long they'll last or deal with the 2" of snow we get in Seattle.

 

Headed to the trailer to a shop to get cv swap finalized.



Cv mocked up with 4.6 & 4r70w siting in.

 

I'm a newbie by the way, please be gentle. This is my first post and I am clueless.


It's a flatbed now and I was building a frame to mount a camper shell.
