Mostly stock. Except for an AM/FM radio. Wheels with bueaty rings and hubcaps. Looking to find orgional and install it on the bump. For me since it has an origional 390 with 3spd with overdrive I don't want to tamper with it. The overdrive really makes it keep up with todays traffic. Cruise 70 MPH and turns no rpms

69 Ford F100 Ranger 390 3spd with overdrive
63 Chevy Impala 327 with 4spd. In the family since brand new. Over 280,00 miles
