IDK but it looks like it's be a fun mud rider that for sure. It's got to sound sick with those open headers!

Looks like late 60's to early 70's chevy blazer body to me.

On second look, that may be a 68-72 Chevy truck cab with a bedside grafted on. The blazer had a removable top like a jeep so wouldn't have had a fixed steel roof skin.

I think it was a blazer , they made a cab out of it , looked smaller from a distance ...

I find the older I get , the more quite I like things , my Ecoboost is about the loudest engine I want to hear anymore, but still worth the ear pain for the thrills , it's mud season here in WV !

Hahaha nice ! This is my lucky thread ! Whilst typing out a reply , wifey is doing this at my side ! Maybe this should go in the Friday drunk thread , it's kinda of a carryover from last night...

 

[NotBudule]

Still at the casino , nothing but good things since then , wifey has been just killing it , on a parking lot stroll and saw a REAL RANGER ! .... This old guy is solid ! 2 older ladies pulled up in it , one let the other out at the front door, where I was standing , I had eyes on it all the way through the loop, quite , no noises , nothing squeaking, stopped like it should, lady gets out , doors sound good , shut tight , pulls away quietly ... Faded Tailgate emblem , no blue anymore , boo boo on the rear bumper , Still going strong though ?...

You paid alot more attention to the truck than the ladies.
What color clothes were they wearing? Or did you not even notice?

I did not notice ... but they were off limits anyway...

This was a Ranger at one point, until now:

Those kinds of builds are nothing close to stock and only cosmetically designed to look like anything stock. Like NASCAR vehicles.

Hi Chuck,

Yeah...when I was managing Ford's Off Road Racing for some 25 years, we saw many trucks like this in prerunner form....lots of money poured into them but streetable. I decided that Fords like this were good enough to be welcomed into our hospitality area for a snack and cold bottle of water "if they had a 13" Ford Decal on the nose"... Dave C, my hospitality guy handed out quite a few decals... Cheap advertising and it made these folks feel like being part of the racing scene... How many Ford Trucks it sold was secondary to just welcoming these folks into the "inside". Lots of fancy, costly work on these trucks... I loved it!...

Best,
Phil

While at the dealership waiting room yesterday I was chatting with a elderly lady who has a 97 with 90,000 on it that she just uses on the farm to drive around a collect downed limbs. I tried hard to convince her to sell it. She didn't give in but took my info and then said she'd tell her kids to call me when she dies hahaha.

There used to be window kits available to delete the side window vent.
