i can find no other truck out there like this--vin says--was built in san jose has 360 --again would to find out if this truck is one rare bird

 

I don't know if it is rare or not. I have a Canadian-built 73 F100 that has a 360 and its a Ranger and it has a shortbed but it is not a 4x4 though. It is a 3-speed on the column.

 

my point exactly--there is no 360-4x4 1975 shorty rangers out there and i know it is all original--if there is someone out that has seen one or has one let me know

 

I have one, so I don't know how rare they are. Mine is 1975 f-100 Ranger XLT 360 4spd 4x4. My brother in law has a 1973 with same specs.both shorties.

 

WOW U ARE THE FIRST I HAVE HEARD OF--I'AM GLAD THE OL GIRL WONT BE ALONE

 

HAVE U SEARCH AROUND FOR OTHER 75"S SAME SPECS?--BY THE WAY --THIS IS A PLANE OL RANGER NOT XLT--IT ALSO HAS FRONT DRUM BRAKES--WHICH U MAY BE ABLE TO SHED LIGHT ON--I HEARD DRUM BRAKES WERE AN OPTION IN 75---???

 

Mine has drum too, but I am in the process of doing a complete upgrade. I am building a 390 with electronic ign.,changing my brakes to 4 wheel disc.. I've been trying to find a fuel inj. system that I could afford but I'll probably have to stick with a carb.

 

DRUM BRAKES WOULD BE STANDARD, NOTHING TO UPGRADE FROM. DISC BRAKES WOULD OF BEEN AN OPTION IF IT WAS OFFERED BACK THEN.

 

I was trying to find a way to post pics of my truck, haven't figured out how. I inherited this truck from my father in law who bought it new. It has spent it's whole life garaged (when not in use)It's a good looking truck,lot's of chrome, front winch bumper, 4x4. still has the original hubcaps, which are about to be replaced with some nice tires and wheels.
