Hey everyone, I just bought a 1975 ranger, I got it for 300 bucks. It runs, pretty rough but it runs. I have no idea what motor is in it, Ill have to find out. Anyways, I'm pretty excited about it, I love older ford trucks and finally got one, I also have a 1985 5.0 mustang. So I joined here to basically get help fixin her up, hopefully I can learn alot from you guys. I'll put up pics when I take them.

Hi and congrats on your 1975 Ranger, it`s alot simpler and easier to work on then your 85 and what my 88 Cobra was.
Tons of help and tips here on FTE so lurk and enjoy.
Be sure to drop into your local WA chapter, likely you`ll meet other owners with similar F100`s: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum188/

Hi, if this serial number is from your 75 Ranger post this question in the 1973 - 1979 F-100 And Larger F-Series Trucks forum: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum38/
Since this forum we`re on here is only for user announcements & introductions there`s not a lot of traffic and usually no tech replies.
The most common engines in these trucks were 360`s.
