[tanman722001]

Thanks guys,As far as my plans is to slowly fix it up.

 

[LEB Ben]

Good score Tony...for some reason, I feel a connection to that truck already.

 

[tanman722001]

I wouldnt know why.LOL

 

[lostinfords]

ben is that the twin to yours? as in do they both have divorced t/f cases and pwr assist steering? ...tanmans looks like a late 77? no? almost looks like a 78/79 w/ different grille/nose?..good looking truck though, looks solid w/ potential

 

[tanman722001]

Mine was built 5/77

 

[lostinfords]

does not go by date but by vin...after y20001..is there a cross member seen just below the bumper, looks like a newer front bumper..does it have pwr assist steering, divorced t/f case..nice score..I have a 77 crew cab

 

[tanman722001]

my fine is after y20001 and it does have a 78/79 bumper on it.it doesnt have divorced t/f case.not sure what power assist steering is.

 

[lostinfords]

+++ and more +'s that means you don't have the older style power assist steering but the 78/79 style pump and box, the wider rear frame rails, allowing for a rear gas tank..plus other goodies, the divorced transfer case is good but I'd rather have the newer style power steering set up set up if I had a choice between the 2...divorced t/f case w/ pwr assist or married t/f case w/ newer pwr steering...

It's the younger brother of mine. But I believe I see an XLT badge...so it may be a classier rig.

 

[lostinfords]

so now it is big red and little red?...????

 

[tanman722001]

Yes Ben it has Ranger XLT badges on it.But it is a first one I'ved had that didnt have AC.

 

[Jolly Green]

No A/C is fine. Just open up the floor vents, turn the wings all the way in, and try not to let your speed drop below 40 mph.

LOL.Yea AC would be nice but not important.

 

[LEB Ben]

LOL.Yea AC would be nice but not important.

I'm getting to the point of just wanting to be comfortable...at 100+* plus the heat index, it's not as much fun to drive these things 3-5 months out of the year. I might be investing in some Vintage Air units very soon.
