70 Custom or 70 Ranger?

I recently posted having to sell my 70 Ranger. Well plans have changed. I also just came across a 1970 Custom with a NICE body,for $500. It runs and registered. Has a 360,3 on the tree and manual everything. The Ranger needs a left side fender and door( had an 1 1/4" bondo patch across 1/2 fender/door), and needs some 'oldman' dents straighted that were just filled with body filler. It also has a side tool box in the bed, which I like. But dont know what truck to keep.?

Sounds like the Ranger only needs minor cosmetic work. It would be a shame to make either of them into a parts truck, since they both run. I'd finish the bodywork on the Ranger and then sell one of them (preferably to someone with good hands who appreciates the beauty of the old girls). At that point it becomes a matter of your personal taste.

Good luck!
