MY NEWEST-AND LAST-BUMP!!!!!!!
Here's some pics of my newest BUMP! '69 Ranger, 360, 3-on-the-tree, Short Bed, LOVE IT!!!!!!! Not perfect, but it won't take much to get there. Have decided to go this route, as my new promotion last year-and the accompanying overtime, has convinced me that I will never get to do the kind of restoration work that I wish I could do. Gonna just be content to have a really clean original to start with, and do some MINOR things to get it as perfect as I want. Haven't been on in a while now, finally have a decent wireless internet connection out here in the sticks, so I will try to be a regular again. And of course,

Re: MY NEWEST-AND LAST-BUMP!!!!!!!
New hood was put on at some point-the red doesn't match the rest of the truck. The Ranger emblems on the bed need to be replaced, rear bumper, door handles and some other things need rechromed, little things like that. Nothing major for sure. Haven't stopped smiling since I got her home-725 mile drive to Little Rock from Hickory, NC, and enjoyed every minute of it! ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

Even the engine is clean. Someone did a lot of work on that truck or kept in a garage/barn for a long time.

Re: MY NEWEST-AND LAST-BUMP!!!!!!!
I'm smiling and the truck isn't even mine. But hey, driving my own makes me smile. So I sure understand. Congrats on your promotion at work.

Re: MY NEWEST-AND LAST-BUMP!!!!!!!
That's one sharp truck.
I think the '69 ranger is the best looking truck Ford ever made. Remember, it was made to be driven not just to set there and look pretty. I have an '04 and an '06 but I still drive my manual-steering, no-air '68 every day.
And the '06 is a company truck, free gas. (
It's a chevy
