drove it around town all day monday and tuesday then drove it home (75 miles) tuesday it's a 1977 Ford F250 Ranger Super Cab it's got a 460 4bbl I believe it's got the C6 unsure what rear end is in her it's got a "Flex Steel" (conversion) interior very comfey the truck has 135K miles on her it was a "Farm Truck" for the last ten years (just used to haul produce to town) I picked this truck up for $650 to use it as a "Dump Run" truck, possibly do a little Local Camping I'm new to the 460ci engine and it's been a really long time since I had something with a carb. hopefully she treats me well the only issue I have run into so far, the truck came with 16.5" wheels :'( and I can't find tires that fit for a reasonable price I'm sure I'll come up with some questions sooner or later.

As in John & Betty Johnson? I'm guessing you named the truck after Betty if that's the case :P

I think the seller's name was John, the wife told me the truck's name was "Brown Betty" do you know them? they seemed nice. I'm in Sequim one or two weekends a month. normally in my 2001 Tahoe (dosn't really stand out) or in my Black GTO |
I know of John & Betty Johnson of Straitside Ranch off of Olstead Rd, they raised Mini Herefords. Nice folks. I understand John passed away a couple months back or so.
I have Sundays off, maybe we can meet up for a cup of coffee and shoot the breeze sometime. |

I don't think that's them this farm is on an access road (parelelle to Old Olympic HWY) near agnew Edit: sending a PM as far as sundays, I'll be in the area Sunday (but it's Easter, so probably busy) probably be in the black GTO or a grey Tahoe (hard to spot the Tahoe) |
just got a NEW to me 1967 camper for Betty
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/p...ictureid=68565 had it delivered by the seller, I still don't have the tie down anchors and still need tires before I feel ok with the weight |
got my front tie downs in,
and loaded up the camper for the first time... https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/p...ictureid=69161 https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/p...ictureid=69160 https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/p...ictureid=69159 |

See if you can drop a big bore 2 stroke in it.

finally found some used tires to go on my used wheels
sold the 16.5's yesterday and installed the "NEW" Bling-Bling https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/p...ictureid=77079 fronts are 235/85-16 Goodyear Wrangler (they are a Canadian tire company version of the DuraTrak Tires) lots of tread left rears are 285/75-17 some sort of no name mild A/T tires with about 1/3 usable tread truck sits a little higher, wheel wells a bit more filled out. and drives better too. biggest plus is the fact that I'm not afraid to put 2K lbs in the bed and go down the road. |

we are having a yard sale with my wife's family this weekend. finally got the tires replaced, now I don't feel so bad getting her out on the highway (just expensive fueling this thing) if you see it before Sat, it will probably be my wife driving after Sat, will probably be me:-jammin |
