1969 Ford F100 Ranger

8ft bed, 60ci engine, 6 automatic transmission, ower steering and power brakes. Bought in Arizona back in Oct 2010 off of the original owner. Old man had it for years using it for hunting and camping. Truck had 89,000 original miles on it when I bought it. Only put a couple hundred on it since then. This truck ran and still does run like the day he drove it off the lot. I couldn't and still can't believe how tight and sound this truck drives, t's unbelievable. As well as the truck drove the look of it was far less then what I was prepared to be seen in. The problem was how perfect it was mechanically, o I had to buy it based solely on that and the fact that it spent its entire life in Arizona so it was 100% rust free. I Drove it back from Arizona over 400 miles....rode like a Cadillac. Got it home and parked it. Did some small mechanics to it such as new battery and new alternator. Didn't know if I even needed either but did it anyway. Next I had to make a decision whether to drive it as is or go all the way and restore it back to its original state. I decided the latter. Every part used to bring this truck back to life was original and when I couldn't find OEM parts I ordered from LMC. (LONG MOTOR COMPANY) Reproduction company out of Kansas. First the mechanical was done.
1. Rebuilt front end and alignment.2. Complete brake system rebuilt including NEW master cylinder and a power brake conversion. {Used original Ford bracket to house booster.When I say complete rebuild of brakes I mean every nut and bolt and spring.}3.
