Goodmorning everybody, i just bought a 1969 f250 ranger about a month ago for 1100 bucks and im pretty excited about it, love the site and i look forward to speaking to anyone that cares to talk, i will post a list ofrepairs/ modifications i have made below.
Engine: new plugs/ wires, new points, new air filter/ repainted cover, new powersteering high pressure hose, new fluids.
Suspension: new front shocks, new radius arm bushings.
Interior: New red bench seat, 70's pioneer tape player (not changing), new dash.

Welcome to the Board. If you ever run into problem do a search first, there is quite a bit of info on here. If you can't find what you are looking for, your answer will be close at hand. Several people on here have helped me with different problems quickly. My truck wouldn't be as far along as it is if I wasn't posting on here.

Thank you for the reply, i do tend to look before asking, i am somewhat mechanically inclined but not too much.... so i WILL need help with things, from what i see the community is nice, i think my next purchase will be emblems i found a nice site for it 25$ for the F.O.R.D. hood inserts and 120$ for the F250-ranger fendor emblems.... i think 120 is a little steep but thats all i could find.

Good looking truck and welcome to FTE. If i were you id buy some new brake lights for it. But thats just me. If you dont mind me asking where did you get that bench seat? That is a really good looking interior.
any idea if you have a FE 360 or a FE 390?
