Hey everyone. I jus had a few questions and was hoping you guys could help me. My dad and step mom recently acquired my step moms old 67 Ford Pickup. My dad and i were in the process of restoring it but since the economy took a dump my parents dont have the money to continue the work on it, and were wanting to sell it. Now is it considered a F100 Ranger or jus a Ranger? the side of the truck had a chrome ranger tag on it. We are also trying to figure out what price to try selling this at. Now keep in mind this is not no mint condition truck. It has been sitting outside down in Oklahoma for quite a few years and has been sitting in a garage since my parents got it. Heres a few pics. Thanks in advance for the help

I am not an expert on Ford history, but I believe the Ranger name was more of a model name like Mustang. The F100 designation is the model designation and goes back to at least the mid 60's. Honestly your truck looks like a daily driver. If anyone is going to "restore" or return the truck to near original condition appearance wise, they will be spending a bunch of money. Even if the engine were left alone, just to fix the appearance could cost $10K easily. I just spent about $500 on door trim and new hardware not counting the stanless steel bolt kit I already had. Paint and labor for 2 doors just cost me another $500 and I did the repairs, primer and 3 coats of surfacer. I take it back, I spent another $150 on materials myself. A very expensive effort even when you do most of the work yourself. Remember if someone is going to fix'er up they will be building it bolt by bolt and that's expensive. The on line NADA book will give you an idea on price, but even they ask for your zip code to give you a better estimate of what the truck is selling for in your local area. If you think someone is looking all over the country on line, they will be looking in Arizona, New Mexico or other desert areas too. I had to sell a 1980 F150 rust bucket (not yours- mine) and my neighbors brutal honesty helped me alot. I say there's always a job for a truck that runs so someone local may buy it for just that reason - to drive as long as it runs. Good Luck
