Gretta is a 1977 F250 Ranger with a 400m Cleveland engine. I bought this old girl back when I was 17. I still own her to this day actually, but unfortunately she lives with my parents on the other side of the country 🥺 I still see her when I go home to visit, but for now that’s where she lives.
I’ve learned a lot since I bought her and first started working on her. With the help of my Dad and friends, we rebuilt the engine, threw a rv comp cam in her as she was my tow hog to haul my horse and I to barrel races. Along with many other upgrades, like a hitch receiver, trailer brake controller, 4 barrel Edelbrock intake manifold, electronic c h o k e (OF doesn’t like this word 😂😂😂), and many other engine accessory replacements (like new radiator, power steering pump, alternator, ect).
Her body has been untouched, so it’s a bit beaten and rough. That will be changed soon!
I’ve been fantasizing but putting a 12v Cummins Diesel engine in her..... then she’d be a Fummins (Ford mixed with Cummins), but that’s a lofty project I’m definitely not ready for yet. Maybe one day though!
As always, thanks for listening to my story and supporting my car journey. Much love 💕
