Very nice...looks like it's in good condition. Going to keep it stock or do a restoration?

Thanks! I read your build over and over...when this one "grows up" I want it just like yours..lol But I will probably leave it a 3/4t...but a compound turbo 4bt would be AWESOME.

I only paid 1500 for it. My plans are to use it to pull my BBQ trailer when it's completed. It was repainted about 10-12 years ago by Maaco...the pics look better than in person, but its still pretty nice.
I am going to gather parts for a while and when the time is right, I will tear it down to restore.

Great price for that truck...your patience paid off. I have a straight original '69 Ranger 360 M/T that needs a new engine and I think I could get $1500 for it. Yours was a better deal.

Thanks. I highly recommend you do a 6bt with the 47RH Trans. It will be easier and cheaper with endless power capability.

Very nice for the money. Patience is a good thing. So is living somewhere that you can find one in that condition in the first place. I paid almost that much just for shipping!

BTW what does 6bt or 4bt mean? and that tranny that what mentioned? 47-something?

Never mind. Looked them up. Yikes! Lotta cash for a change in powertrain.
