New from Central CA.
New here to the site. 29 years old and born in the wrong era. Only Ford lover in the family and proud of not owning a bail out rig. Bought my first 69 f250 4x4 when I was 15 tore it down to the frame and built it back up. Still a working progress but a hobby that never gets old. Got lucky a few month ago and picked up a 69 4x4 Ranger in very nice shape for a buy I couldn't pass up. 90% original except for a few things. Looking forward to being a part of this site. A couple of things I am workin towards is putting power steering in these rigs. Want it done rite not a hack job. Any one with advice on how to do that? Is there a company that make a kit? Also looking for some nice rear window trim/molding. Thanks I appreciate it. Ps would like to share some pictures but it won't let me attach them to this post any tips on that would be appreciated

Re: New from Central CA.
It's not clear inyour post above whether your new-to-you 69 an F100 or an F250. Please clarify.Tvdm1969 wrote:New here to the site. 29 years old and born in the wrong era.
