New around here!

Hi,

Reading some posts for a while now, decided to enter the forum.
I'm Marten, 20, from the Netherlands.
Recently I bought my first truck, 1973 Ford F250 Ranger, with a 390.
That being said, also new to American cars, gasoline engines, and inches, so a lot to learn XD.
Used to straight 4 and 6 diesels, from working on Unimogs with my dad.

(By the way, apologies for my mostly only half-good English)

Here some pics of the rig:


Fuel tank behind the rear axle is not on the photo, but got it with the truck

Temporary shop, but good enough.

Hi Marten and welcome.
Nice score on what has to be a rare truck in the Netherlands.
PS....
Your English fine, I think it's better than mine.

Thanks!
You will see one here and there, when you're looking very carefully on our busy roads, but surely a head-turner!

Hi RBR. Good to see you here with a Ford resembling my Father in Laws. I converted it to LPG with a big tank in the Bed.
He qualified for non-Road taxed LP and one stop-N.C. Areas; they went every year. They loved Southern Atlantic lifestyle every winter.
