my truck ???

I am curious about my truck.Ok its a 1976 f-250 2wd it says Ranger XLT it has trim all over it outside upper and lower it came with cruise, I took that off I still have the black box and harness and sensors though.It has a red vinyl headliner, the interior is red ,it does have trim inside also woodgrain and chrome.It came with a 460/c6/dana 60 rear with 3:54 gears and had 16.5 inch rims on all 4 corners.It also came with twin tanks, and a/c and the proportioning valve. I have the info on it also here.

F25JLA26303
Wheelbase-133
Color-KM
Type/GVW-F253
Body-CD4
Trans-G
Axel-C7J
MaxGVW LBS-08000
DSO-1976 76

Is the truck rare? Also my grandpa has a 1977 supercab that came with a 460/c6/9inch and the short bed.

yea

yea ive thought about that,but i dont want to go original if I do, me im a fan of slick bodys meaning no moulding or extra trim just sleek and smooth with nice paint and I like custom work you know custom interior and body.

The motor I tore down myself built it back up, painted it all ford blue, and its ford blue and some chrome, black also,the tranny when it was out, completely cleaned and washed it.If I could afford it id do a frame off resto but I cant.

My truck came the same way except it's a 4x4 supercab. I riped off all the emblems, and tore out all the interior. I'm hopeing to be done with it before next summer.
