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
"If it can't be fixed with a hammer, then it is an electrical problem"

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