It's mine....FINALLY!!!!!
I've been waiting since January to buy a certain 1979 F-250 Ranger XLT. It is finally mine and what a deal it was. I purchased it for only $500. I have a few things to do to it because it's been sitting for a couple of years. However, it will be nothing compared to the joy that I'll get from driving it.
I have posted photos in my gallery.

Great find, better than my recent deal 
Can you please take a close & side shot of the radiator & shroud and put in your album?
A guy on here needs to see how thick the rad and the shroud are. I haven't had the energy to photo mine for him.
If you see a stamping number on that rad you can post that as well.

Million -
I've posted another photo of my engine compartment. It gives a glimpse of the radiator, but not the shroud. I do hope it helps.
I'll be working on it tomorrow, so I'll try to take a picture at that time.

I see that.
The picture should show from the side > The 4 core Rad<> The Narrow Shroud <> The short distance to the Fan <> short distance to the engine.
What some users need to see is the narrow dimensions for the Rad to shroud <> shroud to engine <> so they will stop mentioning to 460-4 core rad people to buy the one they have a for a 400 2-or 3 core w or w/o AC.

I was under my new beast yesterday installing a fuel pump. I noticed true duals to 30" glass packs. I new she was loud when we were trying to prime the pump before the install. Now, I KNOW she'll be loud. This is definitely a truck that would be difficult to sneak out of the neighborhood at 7 am on Saturday morning. But, "OH THE JOY" when she lights off and rumbles down the road.
By the way, that fuel pump is a pain to install. You need five hands and there's only room for one. It's the most difficult pump I've installed to date.

It wasn't lining up correctly and a father-in-law in the way. I can work with a fuel pump to get it in. I can't work with a father-in-law in the way while I'm doing it.
We did try to bump it over, but never got it to a point to line up. We are friends with a Ford mechanic and he should have a tip or two for me when I chat with him tonight.
