1968 Ranger that has been in the family since 71'

Post by Olered68 »

The truck was purchased by my dad in 71' and my parents used my mom's first car which was a 63 falcon as the down payment. It was given to me to drive throughout school years ago. I finally embarked on restoring the old truck and while the rebuild is complete, I thought I would share its journey it took to get to where it is today.
