My "new" 68 Ranger

Post by BrantDale »

I just got this a couple days ago. I am pretty excited to have it, the body is very straight and it rus and drives (that is an improvement from my other bumps). It needs some work on the factory a/c and some of the wiring is messed up, engine looks like it was rebuilt at some point ( heads are painted orange...weird). Oil pan leaks a bit too much. Just wanted to share. Image

Truck looks nice. I like the wheels.

Good looking Ranger. I am partial to the 68 Ranger since I have one to. It was a Oregon Truck.
