My first dent!

for the most part I spend my time on the 87-96 forum, but 3 months ago I sold my 1990 f250. For 3 months I had no vehicle, until this friday where I purchased a 1976 f100 ranger SWB! Shes a 360 2v auto. All stock except for the rims, tires, steering wheel, and dual exhaust.
Let me guys know what you think!

now for the pictures



at the garage


at the base of my local mountain, been snowboarding there since I was 8


the guy in the picture is my friend jack


I dig the red head liner too


Love the red bench seat


HEre it is parked outside my house with my dads head in the background hahaha

Damn. That truck is beautiful. Was it a restoration from someone or just well taken care of?


Here in NJ I almost never see trucks that clean.

man what a total pile of crap. who would ever want a black truck with red interior like that and a 302 might as well have a mouse on a wheel for the motor. you should probably just give it to me.. haha no really its nice as hell, and its bad ***. i was trying to get a blue one that was just like that one.

Very nice.

But that steering wheel has to go. It looks so odd on a truck. Its the first thing my eye was drawn to.

Round horn pad used on a wide variety of 1967 cars, not just Mustang's. Horn ring/steering wheel could be Mustang or Cougar.

These '67 Mustang/Cougar wheels aren't that hard to find NOS as FoMoCo had a 'campaign' for them due to them cracking. Dealers received 100's of them, most were never installed.

Thanks for the kind words! Ya I was told it was from a mustang, and yes it will change it haha. It's in the shop today getting new belts, engine mounts, radius arm bushings, and a few other minor things. I'm surprised by how much power it has. I hear a lot of people bad mouthing the 360 but it's got tons of torque and moves pretty good.

Im pretty sure it was a bit of both! The truck seems to have been driven pretty lightly over the course of its life. I know at some point there was some bodywork/rust repair but it was done properly which Im thankful for. Id imagine it's not the original paint either

Doesn't really matter hombre. The point is that it came from something else... might as well come out of a C10.

A new steering wheel is for sure on my parts list. Do you guys have any recomendations as far as steering wheels go? I saw a couple on LMC that looks pretty good

That truck is gorgeous. Too bad didn't have a campaign for the original wheels in these trucks. I've seen these wheels with chunks missing out of them. It also looks as though that you have a thing for black trucks. Couldn't help but notice that black FX4 super duty sharing garage space.

Good score dude, that thing's gorgeous. Do you know if its an original BC truck? Like you said, its either been partly resto'd or had a very easy life. You'll get onlookers with this one for sure. Welcome to the Dent Side my friend.

Thanks for the kind words! And no the truck was imported from the states at some point during its life. Not sure when, or where from

I like that steering wheel. I wouldn't change it unless I had something nicer.

But then, I liked Windows Vista when everyone else didn't...

Very Nice truck, btw!

Got any underhood photos?
