    How incredible to find a 70s truck with only 38K miles, nearly mint condition interior, needing very little sprucing up to get it running!!!! Am I surprised? Not one little bit! Someone with such strong work & family ethics, and positive attitude, plus all the assistance you've given or helped to give others, has good things come back to them time & again. Just goes to show what hard work, living right & having a positive outlook can do. It's enjoyable watching other people's dreams come true before our very eyes!!! I love it!

      @Sue Mick you stated Alex’s personality exceptionally well. I need to write this statement down and keep it next to my bed for whenever I have those Blah, woe is me, moments.
      I wish I had a fourth of Alex’s happiness, optimistic viewpoint, and his boundless amounts of energy.
      I have my days. I’m extremely energetic for almost 53 years of age. I do pretty good with a degenerative disc disease, 2 bulged discs, 2 completely ruptured discs extremely in the lowest section of my spine, and narrowing of the stenosis along with Sciatica that radiates down my hip and down my leg as described by the radiologist from my MRI as being moderate to severe in his reading and notes from his findings.

      I thought the same thing too. He could get around the licensing problem with the city by having a movable truck with all of the pastries and coffee in it. That way it would give him more room on the floor in the new building to put tables and chairs for people to sit in. They would buy their goodies outsideIn the truck and bring them inside to eat. I think you had to go back and look at it, or find another one. Maybe just a small one that could sit out on the cement pad out front. Why not check with the city to see if that would be allowable.

    Hi from australia great score I've had a 76 250 regular cab for 32 yrs an i had a 76 camper special for about 9 yrs but to many cars so one had to go an those old flares an wheels are really worth some money now for anyone restoring one or building a period correct truck as the collector market has really taken off in the last few yrs more stuff is available now compared to 20 yrs ago an the prices in the usa an here have gone up lots for trucks in that condition

    Sweeeeet! Awesome truck!
    You should keep that lock on the hood as those trucks are real easy to steal when you pop the hood!

    I thought I was going to miss the ambulance. Nope. This Ranger looks awesome. I look forward to watching you put it through its paces.

    With you green truck and green lawn you can call property "Green Acres."

      Hi Carolyn. Maybe with all that green lawn it could be called, 'Green Rakers', although the kids might just see that as another chore. I'm waiting for someone to coin the phrase, 'there's got to be a machine for that, and can we buy it?' X-)

      As for the locking lug nut removal tool I keep mine in the glove box!

    Your new work truck looks amazing. Except for the flaking hood paint. Consider getting the rims some period-correct center hub covers, and a couple of Mexican Sarape blankets throws to protect the seat covers from wear.

    I had a '77 extended cab, two tone green, Ford F150 for years, but it said "Trailer Special" on it. It was so easy to work on, I did it all myself and I was a young mom at the time. I was always so proud of myself.
