1980 Ford F150 Ranger Lariat

Thanks man! Nothing really new, although I did throw the drivetrain back in the truck to make me feel better about having it sit in the backyard. It still doesn't run, but I hope to find a new engine soon and get some progress going on this truck. I really need to make a checklist and start crossing things off when I have free time. The more I do now, the less I have to do later.

So I guess this log has come to a close. Last month I sold the truck. I realized that it needed way more work than I was willing to put in, and I just lost interest in the project. We had a good run and I learned so much working on this truck. But now it's time to focus on more important things like home ownership and my future.
The truck did go to a guy who owns two other bullnose and one bricknose Ford, so I guess it's in good hands.

Wanted to bump this because over the last few years I've seen parts from my old girl show up on Ebay, so she was parted out after I sold her.
I definitely miss her for some of the parts she has, and I also missed having a project truck, so I dove into another major project a little over a year later.
But I really like this project and it's gonna be one hell of a truck when it's done. It's a 1990 F350 disguised as a 1980 with a 4x4 swap and a manual transmission swap.
Tore the F350 down to nothing (2019):
Built her back into something better (2021):
