Haulers, what do you haul your bike in?

That’s an excellent little truck!!!! I have driven many different Rangers. The decked-out 4x4 auto trans models are nice but the lightweight 2WD manual trans ones drive so much better! And clean, low-mile older stuff is infinitely easier to work on. Modern models are computerized nightmares.

Nice truck.

Ok that’s even nicer...
Love the stock but later-model wheels.

Sold the 64 and picked up the 59

I don't know if I need more truck or less bike...

That picture is a bit old but it's the only one I have handy with the big chopper bike in the back. Since then I have picked up some more period correct wheels.

I saw this sweet machine in print! Beautiful!!

I’m surprised it isn’t right-hand-drive. It’s an English Ford. You can tell by the crooked teeth.

Here's my '59 Studebaker pick up I finished last year for hauling vintage motorcycles and bikes. Having fun with it.

Newly acquired '77" Ford Ranchero
Big block 400 M

 

[RustyGold]

...this is where I become one of those annoying types...I apologize in advance.

There is no 400 'M' engine, the only 'M' designated engine is the tall block 351...the 400 often gets tagged 'M' because it uses basically the same block as the 351 'M'. The 400 isn't a big block, the proof in the pudding is that the heads are, essentially, interchangeable (ex. Boss 302, and various aftermarket (including Ford Motorsports) 'clevor' combos) between Windsor family small blocks (221-351) and 335 series engines (302C (Aussie), 351C, 351M, 400).

An age old debate that produces much arguing and little else. Technically, small and big block are just chevy terms...everyone else designated engine families with different terms (Ford used flathead, y-block, FE, FT, MEL, 335-series, 385-series, windsor, and many more ).

So you thought this is where you became annoying.
