My Ranger V-8 swap has been making me crazy lately and I ran across this the other day.
71 F-100, 351-C auto. Interior isn't in great shape, but not bad either. Motor looks fairly fresh.

And if one of you jerks buys it, don't post it on here.

That looks familiar, Bro. I think I saw that on a government website a while back.

Maybe that's why it says www.govdeals.com on the pic?

Never.

I would entertain a straight up trade for one of these (just like this would be ideal)

You will have to pry my keys from my cold dead hands before I will even consider selling my Ranger. I should smack you for even thinking about this.

Clevelands aren't the best dd's. What are your intentions with it if you got it.

I love the old bumpsides. I've had several. I've had 4, 2 w 390's, 1 w a 289 and 1 w a 302. Loved those trucks,but sadly enough, Rangers have more leg room.
