    Howdy from North Texas

    Yeah.... That's the topper of my Grandpa's Ranger that got wrecked back in 2012. Haven't disposed of it yet. That's one of the things that'll go as soon as she's moved from my Grandma's house to mine. This girl has been sitting untouched since about '10 or '11. I'll be excited to get the patina...

    consummate "Newbie" is glad to be in such good company!

    Welcome for North Texas. That is an awesome truck. Someday I'd love to find one like that.

    Howdy from North Texas

    The son of the original owner of Blue here was the manager of the order department at James Wood's Decatur location. But from what I remember my Grandpa saying, his friend wasn't picky other than "1/2 ton, 2wd, short bed, and blue". He basically let his son spec out every other option on the...

    Does anyone know what all it takes to go from the 1" thick front rotors to the 1.25" thick front rotors, as well as from the 2" wide rear shoes to the 2.75" wide rear shoes?

    What did you pay for a square

    Technically it was my mother's truck, as far as my memories of it go, but my Grandpa is the one that bought it and I now realize it was actually always his truck. I guess it makes a lot more sense why he and my mother always seemed to have issues with each other, related to this truck. My...

    What did you pay for a square

    So, I'm not really sure what my Grandpa paid for her in '93 when her got her from a friend & coworker. But he gifted the truck to my mother as a high school graduation present. I remember the day he brought the truck home. She drove the truck throughout the 90s, until about '03 or '04, when the...

    Howdy from North Texas

    Currently I'm trying to figure out what my plan for Blue here is. I know she needs pretty much the entire fuel system and ignition system replaced, as well as finding out where the short is that caused her to catch fire several years ago. Fortunately, it was extinguished within a minute or...

    Howdy from North Texas

    Howdy y'all. New here, with my current and only square body, my '87 GMC R1500 Sierra Classic short bed. My Grandpa bought her in '93 from his coworker, who was the original owner. His coworker's son was, at the time, the vehicle order manager at James Wood in Decatur, and basically was told "I...
