Hey fellas! How is everyone? Long time no post. I finally got my truck, on Friday. I bought it back in September and through an assortment of hassles, never could get it from CA to MN. But, it arrived on Friday! Woo Hoo!
The hood needs paint, as do a few other spots. However, I may have the whole damned thing painted. Any recommendations in the area?
Page 18. Hmmm. I don't know if I'm gonna have the energy to go back and read this entire thread. I'll start with the one above mine. Hi Dave!

Howdy Eric. What's the story on the truck.
That should be some brownie points... I wonder what you are going to spend them on. 
Salt and Vinegar chips? YUM. cucumbers soaking in vinegar (aka pickles). yum..

450 gets that much worse milage than your v8 ranger?

The V8 in the ranger ought not to be too bad on mileage compared to the 450. The 302 in my '82 Mustang got as high as 24 on the highway. The ranger isn't that heavy, so it should be fairly decent on the highway. Now ... this assumes that Dave can keep his foot out of the floorboard.
So he'll get 14, which is real close to the 450?

Good morning Chris!
Good morning Jay!
Good morning Dustin! I bet he is getting in the mid 20's with that Ranger. No weight to that thing. I have a fuel injected 5.7 in my streetrod and get in the mid 20's easy with it.
Good morning Michael! Yep Monday is behind us once again.

The solid floorboard is the only thing keeping his foot off the pavement.
