Well I still feel like a new guy myself, but welcome. I have learned a lot here. Souped up trucks are really neat because you can "really haul" things. I am trying to build a '29 Ford roadster but I rely on a stock '93 Ford Ranger for chasing parts. What rear ratio are you runnin'? I recently sold my '66 Ranchero because my wife said it was "junk" and the Ranger has air conditioning, but I really enjoyed the Ranchero with a rebuilt 289, it was pure "Ford", a tin can with an engine and a lot of fun to drive! I sold it for a mere $300 (a tree had fallen on the cab roof and the body needed a lot of TLC), but my wife said I wouldn't be able to give it away. I advertised it and within a week a guy showed up (he wanted a tow car for his other Ranchero drag car) and laid 3 $100 bills on the hood and drove it home. My wife was amazed and that confirmed my values but still I don't have the Ranchero anymore so I am hanging tough on building the roadster!
