New from McDonough Ga.

Post by tpw35 »

I am 41 and grew up riding in these trucks, My Dad had a 72 with a built 390 in it, His buddy had a 70 with a 406 with 3 2s. They both ran good, I remember as a kid them suprising some of the hot cars that were around. I have always wanted to get one and finally picked up a 68 ranger long bed with a 360 and 3 on the tree. I am learning alot on this forum. Thanks, Todd

I checked my stroke and bore this weekend, it turns out I have a 390, It looks like some work has been done to the heads also, the valves are bigger than stock.
