Long Distance Call from Smithville, TX

Post by Chelle »

Hi all, my name is Michelle from Smithville, Texas. I have been into Ford trucks for as long as I can remember. I have owned a 69 Ranger F-100 and a 72 Ranger XLT F-250. I bought both of them new and of course now I can see that my hindsight is better than my foresight. Probably should have kept both of them as they were both special ordered and were spected to the max. In the Ford truck line I now own a 56 F-100 big window and a 67 N-950. On both the F 850 and larger and on all the N series, the 1961 to 1966 cabs were held over until 1969. The only trucks that got the new sheetmetal from 67 to 69 were the F-100 through the F-750. In late 1969 the N series was replaced with the new LN series of the famed L series cabs. I also presently have a 77 F-600 Custom Cab roll back wrecker. I am into cars too, I have pictures most all my cars and trucks on my website.
