Official time of death was 504,710 miles :-(

Besides the shifter knob, this is all I have left of Old Blue.

The front grill emblem.

This is what forged ahead face in the wind, leading the way for over half a million miles and 20yrs with me behind the wheel.

Hop in the "time machine" and go back 20yrs, this is Old Blue in her prime.

Probably in the first week of bringing her home, the dealership sticker is still above the tailgate handle.

Couldn't imagine a more proud new truck owner. She got washed weekly, and waxed monthly for the first several years.

.....what a great run it has been.

I wish i know how many miles were on my truck.
As far i know its on its third engine, second trans, one front axle assembly.
and lots of catch maintenance.
so far its never let me down, it always so how limped home with failed TFI modules and the such.

Long live Blue Oval Rangers

She is sure pretty ! ! !

I agree that TOTM nomination would only be fitting given her faithfull service! Sure was pretty back in the day.

Nice job. Do you have anywhere in particular you are putting it?

I have the key from my 91 Explorer on my keyring still, and my Dad's 83 Camaro (the first car I ever had the keys to).

The Camaro key comes in handy when I have an itch in my ear.

I'd vote a TOTM for 500,000 miles.

I'll throw in my vote too

If you get another Ford you should take off the new emblem and put that one on.

TOTM sounds like a good idea too. Quick, make a build thread!

Was thinking the exact same thing. Looking at used Rangers this week on CraigsList. Probably going to be a 97-03 or so, gotta be a 5 speed and Ext Cab. Engine size is negotiable, as is 2wd/4wd.

But it crossed my mind.... Why not put that emblem back on the front grill of the new (to me) truck and "pass the torch"?

The spirit of Old Blue may roll down the road once again...

Perusing through CL for Rangers, I even came across some later-year models that were Bright Blue!
Wouldn't that be cool to find Old Blue version 2.0?

But I realize that there is no replacing the awesomeness that once was with the old girl.
Autopilot is a very tough option to find in a new truck. Old Blue always knew the way home.

No replacing, only starting another chapter.

Or unbuild thread.... LOL

Sorry for your loss.

RIP old blue...

You've got my vote for TOTM
