Thumbs up Been away a long time

Greetings everyone.I have been away for a while since I sold my Ranger but I have just been handed one. My Dad bought his Red Ranger new in 2001 from the local dealer here in Columbus Ga. He just turned 91 and he no longer drives So Mom called me and asked if I would like to have his truck. Wow, would I, total original and with only 60,000 miles. He had a matching shell on it, so I took that off. Beautiful chrome bumpers and chrome wheels and chrome wheel well trim. I have started to replace some of the faded black trim to get it back to tip top shape. I will be checking in from time to time asking for advice, asking questions and maybe looking for some replacement parts. I have replaced the chrome grill, the outside mirrors and mirror switch and window beat line moldings.. I think my first big item to locate is original seat upholstery and carpet. I know I am long winded but just wanted to say "Hello". C.M.Elledge

Your dad just turned 91, I guess that would make you over 70.....wow I thought I was old.
