Hi from North Carolina

Post by no_treble »

Hello from North Carolina.

Been visiting the site for a while and using the great information, so I thought I'd join up.

Bought this nice, mostly restored '69 Ranger recently, and have started finishing up the remaining mechanicals.

3-spd on column, 302, manual steering/brakes, air.

I'll have some questions as I go I'm sure...

Thanks guys. Body, undercarriage and interior are pretty much done. Engine/exhaust/brakes/shocks are in great shape. Engine is original, the rest was redone. I've replaced some shifter components (although I'll have some questions about that in other threads), and am looking into p/s, p/b. The p/s thing is going to be a nail-biter... It's going to be a lot of work to keep the column shifter, so I have to think about that one for a while, as to whether it's worth it or not.

Good to be here among like minds.
