Hi, my name is Michael and I'm a computer tech and office equipment repair person in Grants Pass, Oregon. Due to my grandfather death I was willed his 1973 Ford-250 with 66,500 miles on it. It's a Ranger Camper Speical model witha 360, C-6 and a AM radio. Granpa added a CB, after all it was the 1970s.

Congratulations,, sorta, you know what I mean. Welcome to the Ford Truck Lover's slice of heaven. Very nice looking truck you've got there, I'm assuming your grandfather took immaculate care of it, as grandfather's tend to do. Run and drive as well as it looks? 66,000 original miles, gotta love it.

Nice truck, Michael. Stick around. Your grandfather would approve and you'll have a lot of fun in this forum. We like these old trucks!

Hey, my names Mike too

Cool truck, with only 66K miles on the clock it must be in great condition

Again, welcome to the FTE

Thanks

My grandfather lived to be 92 and was active for his age. He had a 30 acre hobby farm in Southwestern Washington State. I do miss him. He was a frugal person, he only drove the truck when he needed to. He always had some kind of Toyota Corolla that he drove for small errands.

I have this 2003 Windstar for my work car and that old truck is used for chores and of course my dirt bike. Oh, Yes this is me!

Welcome to FTE and it looks like you got a nice Ford truck to do "chores" with. Having belonged to your Grandfather, just makes it that much more "special". Welcome, again, and have fun!
