Well I'm going to start restoring a 78 f150 ford pickup here in a couple ofweeks im gonna strip it down to the frame sand it down and undercoat it then build it up from there.
My first truck was a 77 F-150 4wd. It was the best truck I ever owned. It had the 351M engine. It never failed me until it rusted to the ground... Glad to hear your taking on the restore. You don't see many of the original Rangers on the road, around here anyway.
HRC that sounds exactly like my truck except for the year and rustin out part. Its actually in pretty good shape for as old as it is the beds not even rusted out.
