1978 Ford F-150 Ranger
That's my truck! We call it "The Rowdy". I bought it from my old boss's father who was the second owner about 3 years ago. He got it in 82, but not before the original owner did a couple performance upgrades. It's a 302 with nonstock heads (never could ID them) 3 speed with overdrive and a vintage hurst shifter. I got it for $700 dollars and it barely ran, now it's the most reliable vehicle I have and it gets 17mpg on the highway. The guy I got it from kept it at his cabin and only used it to pull his boat to the lake. Only 105k miles on it when I got it, about 155k now. It was my daily driver up until about six months ago, my grandfather had a stroke and gave me his 2009 Chevy Colorado since he can't drive it anymore. I was going to sell the Ford for awhile, but then my parents bought it from me! Now they buy all the expensive parts and I install them. I was going for a rat truck kinda look when i had it, now they wanna go all chrome and jacked up.. Either way, I'm glad it will stay n the family and probably be mine one day again and then my son's (or daughter, so long as i do produce some). I love it.
