New member from NC

Post by skyhawk61 »

Hello, everyone. I'm a new member of this group, but I'm not new to older Ford pickups. In 1990, I inherited my late father's '72 two-tone blue F100 Ranger XLT longbed, complete with am/fm, ps, pb, and a/c. It's a 360 2 bbl with Cruiseomatic, and now has 103,000 miles on the clock. Other than routine maintenance, worn parts replacement, and a paint job a few years back, it's the way he bought it back in the early 70's. I still use it for it's originally intended purpose--hauling stuff.
