New VERY Old Gearhead

[CrabGuy]

Congratulations, doing that at 81 you are definitely a gear head. I'm 74 and it's getting harder by the year to roll under a vehicle and to roll off the creeper.

Hey JudgeJohn, welcome to TRS. I really liked you 51, been to town many times in one with my father's uncle. What is your current project?

i think i read that article back in the 90s. i was in high school and had my 85 f150 and always read the truck mags at the rack in walmart or heb.

nowhere seems to have a magazine rack anymore except the airport and books a million.

Glad you joined up with old geezer mechanics and yes I dread crawling under a dash but just did so reworking my '75 Ranchero - which I bought new.

The 2002 Ranger XLT, which I inherited from my Dad, is all new territory but not as daunting as first I feared.

97 Ranger XLT 4.0 extended cab: total re-do underneath & interior ; body/bed are great.
