[Ford blue blood]

Only V-6s were in the small Ranger series. Have had a couple of trucks over the years. First was a 73/360/4spd/short bed. 13MPG no matter what speed or load. Took the 2bbl, put on a Galaxie tri-power and headers and mileage jumped to 14! Not worth it from a $ sense but worth it from the fun factor! Next was a 93/302/AOD, nice truck, 18/19MPG. Sold it for 2010, 4.6/6spd/3.55. 19/20 MPG, it went to a new home after 110K miles to make room for the 2016 5.0/6spd/3.55 that is so awesome I can't begin to say. Loves being out west in the 75MPH areas! 22MPG running 82 - 84, getting 18 - 19 around town.


I did buy a 61 Unibody out of CA, had it moved to my daughters place at Edwards AFB, flew out, made it road worthy and drove back to B-ham! Let me tell you, it is a long haul from Rosemont, CA to Birmingham, AL in a 61 F100! One of those bucket list items....
