Hey Tim, That thing is'nt that bad is it. Especially for the price. Is that instument cluster new? Does'nt look like a 67 though as I thought they were metal. At least the one I have in the barn is metal. I'll trade you the right year cluster for that pretty shiney one. lol

Don't know if it's new or not. Were the metal clusters bright finish? It has the Ranger package if that makes a difference. Don't remember what years interchange. 67-69, 70, 71-72 I think are the break downs, but could easily be wrong on that.

Well, as much as it pains me to do so, I've decided to part it out. We got 3 vehicles already, and I can't really afford a 4th at this point. I also don't want a second project as I haven't quite finished my 70.

I have posted an add in the parts column. Let me know if you want anything, and I will check the condition and pull the part on Saturday.

I know the feeling. To many projects its a tough choice to have to part something that has potential--hope it works out for ya.

Thanks Mark. If it was a short bed I'd bite the bullet and find a way to keep it. One of my buddies is really wanting the tailgate and grill, so that helps knowing he can use some parts that would be expensive elsewhere.

Man oh man. If I was there I'd come get it. I still have a plan to have a 67-72 Ford Truck graveyard...strip them down, sandblast, prime, and store the parts that I can, that kind of thing. I can see it all in my noggin, just got to get back from germnay first.

Well, good deal, and good luck on parting it out.
