I should enter my 1975 it would be perfect. But then I'd have to get the lights working and put on a muffler....too much work for me. Today I was so happy,I thought I blew the transmittion up but it turned out I just leaken alot of Tranny fluid out a broken fitting.

Do you mean the red one with the 302/automatic?
The blue Ranger is a 69.

Ya I meant the red one. It would be a shame to take off the molding on a Ranger. (Rule #6)

The 69 Ranger isn`t in great shape but it`s still a neat truck. The red one isn`t anything real special to me.
