Howdy from Shreveport, Louisiana

Post by 1 Ol' Dent »

Been lurking here awhile. I've got a '72 2WD Ranger XLT, a little rough on the body, but a one-year-old rebuild on the 390 (stock) plus no gas smell in the cab like I've read alot about. One of my first mods will be adding shoulder belts all the way across--I'm looking at '02-'04 F-150 SC seats, as they have outboard shoulder belts built into the seat back. Our shop truck at work, an '09 F550 Cab Chassis, has the middle seat belt retractor mounted on the back wall of the cab, right below the window, so that may be an option for the middle if it doesn't get too expensive. I'll use this as my daily driver half of the week, so I need to be able to pick up my kids from school.
I'm a horrible golfer but love the exercise in futility. Used to fish a lot before the kids. I like tinkering on old trucks and Harleys. I look forward to learning as much as I can from you guys and gals in the coming years...

I'll take some pics of Ol' Leroy (PO named it) and post tomorrow.

Will get the pics up sometime tomorrow.

BTW, I DO realize that I screwed up registering as '1 Ol' Dent' but there's no way for me to correct it to "1 Ol' Bump" without creating a whole nother account. Maybe someday a moderator can fix it?...anyhow, Ol' Leroy's got more that his share of 'dents' so I guess it's not a big deal...
