whfan74 2,015 #1 Posted July 22, 2017 Really happy for dad. 2 months shy of his 71st birthday we finally located his dream truck. I have been sending him options for the last year and a half and this one punched all of the boxes. 1955 Ford F100 with a 351w. Disc brakes, independent front suspension, vintage a/c. The truck is perfect for us as it is not perfect but we can put a few of our own small touches on it. Can't wait to hit some shows! He also picked up this pretty clean "grocery getter" about a month and a half ago. This will be enjoyed and tinkered with. My 11 year old wants it for her first car. Haha! 1988 4x4 Ranger with 89k original miles. Fun little truck to cruise around town. 15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rjg854 10,731 #4 Posted July 22, 2017 Both are really sharp looking trucks. I especially like the Ranger, I've been driving Rangers for the last 22 years. Great truck, can't believe Ford quit making them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clueless 2,898 #7 Posted July 22, 2017 Scott, thats a great looking F100, it's just not the right color. Now the Camaro, the Ferrari, and the Cobra, were the right color, I'm just saying.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Back in the late 50's early 60's my dad had a mid 50's black F100, my sister says that's why I've always owned black trucks. If you find a can of blue play-doh behind the seat, that's my dads truck, I would like to have it back, the play-doh not the truck. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
