Pulled this 68 F100 Ranger out of a barn yesterday....

Post by jmccormick »

Hello,


My buddy and I yanked this 1968 F100 Ranger from his grandma's barn yesterday along with a 72 Chevelle and a Galaxy 500.

The truck has been parked since 1978, 1 owner 80k miles. Everything seams to be intact. Does have some cancer area's. Not sure what we are going to do with it.

I think the plan so far is to get some power disc's on the front and make it run and drive in it's current state.


I plan to lurk around here and gather more info. Would love to figure out the name of the color. I google image searched and came up with nothing.


Well here are some pics.

:wel: from Georgia! Great truck. Apparently we don't have a color chart for '68 but here's the '69. http://www.fordification.com/tech/Ibeamsspindles.htm I'm thinking it's Lunar Green, a popular color with our trucks.

:wel: from SoCal... Gotta love that grille! It looks pristine and if you didn't already know, the 67-69 grilles are not available in the aftermarket (yet). Oh, and what year is the Galaxie 500 that you guys pulled out of there? I would love to see some pictures of that as well. :thup:

Song references a bump if you listen to when the truck is bought.
