1970 F250 Ranger C/S 54k Orig AZ Miles
« on: November 19, 2013, 08:34:16 PM »
Picked up this truck November 1st.  Another Arizona garage find. Best part about it is the originality including the paint etc

Crappy cell pics do not show how nice it is.

Factory 390 Truck too!

NP 435 4spd

Ranger Package

Deluxe Tutone Paint

Spare Tire

Factory Disc Brakes 12.6" Rotors

Dana 60 With a 3.54 Gear

Factory A/C

Tinted Glass

25 Gallon Fuel Tank w Standard Fuel Tank

Heavy Duty Front & Rear Springs

Camper Package

It would make a nice Shop truck or Tow Vehicle

Inside of box has only a few scratches . . .

Truck sat for years so fuel system had to be gone thru

After taking it partially apart to go thru the mechanicals its no doubt orig miles. I have never seen a 44yr Old Arizona Truck with this nice of original paint. Pretty much any AZ veh for that matter.

The old tires literally fell apart once it was moved.

Only bump was a very minor one to left front fender, I had a nice fender just need to paint it.

Check out the original finish on parts factory left bare metal. Had very light surface rust which I cleaned up. No blasting needed.

All front end parts had factory paint markings still on them.

I could not leave well enough alone so pulled the front clip for a good going thru. Front was super tight with exception to the Radius Rod and I Beam Pivot Bushings. Still were tight but a bit dry rotted so replaced them.

Pretty much went thru complete front end so it was mechanically sound.


Back together now. Those front brakes are HUGE!

Man, where are all these 67-72 pickups coming from LOL!  Great looking truck, and in unbelievable shape.  I used to have a 3/4 ton 2WD with the 360.  You guys are making me want another one...

Very cool! Here in the Midwest, those trucks were rode hard and put away wet....with lots of road salt providing some serious lightening of the gross vehicle weight  :(

I have too many trucks now and prefer the 65-66 Which I have much more parts for.  I had no plans to tear this one apart but now its like the rest of my trucks scattered all over the place.  Its those "MightasWell's"  That keep adding up!

Plan is to sell once I get it back on road. ALready buried in it though.

Nary a pinhole on this truck. Inside the box barely has any scratches let alone rust. Original paint will look nearly new once detailed except for the drivers fender which had a parking lot bump.  Very unusual for Arizona veh 44yrs old to have this nice of paint.

A bit of very thin surface rust on undercarriage chassis stuff that ford left bare metal but sheet metal is 100% solid.

A lot of work but was finally able to get the 390 back in truck . .

Still a lot of work to be done. Slowly running out of time . . .

Its been a while since I gave a update . .

Yesterday I was able to take it on its maiden voyage. Here are a few before and what it looks like currently. Still stuff to do but at least its not a pile of parts any longer.

another FE powered vehicle saved!

That is a super SUPER sweet truck! The bay looks like it's better than brand new! Very nice job.
So when is it going in the classifieds?  ;D

What method/products do you use to clean the underside of the hood, firewall, etc to get the years of baked on gunk off?  It looks great!
