I think you have way too many pictures to deal with in the next few weeks Frank Boss.

Take your time. I just wanted to see this beauty up close!

   Hi Dave, and thanks for your comments.
   
    Re. bigger photos, see the next post.  Frank is always on the ball, "ain't he"
also, I'v just purchased a "scanner & printer"  thing.  Haven't figured out how to run it as yet, and cant give it much time as I'm about to leave town (going on a cruise)

   Promise I will have everything worked out (? ? ? ? ?) when I get back, but maybe Frank will have done it before this,

   For now, best to all, I'm off for the first vacation I'v ever taken.  Funny thing is, I don't have a job (retired) to vacation from,,,,,,,,,,Jim at jimspinto

Thanks for the larger pictures. Very, very nice car Jim. I have never seen under- dash air. My Geraldine has dealer installed air, different controls and venting than factory, but that under-dash unit looks real nice. I bet we can get something like that from Vintage Air today.

  Hi all,

  I got back from my cruise (Carnival Ships) and picked up my 2001 Ford Ranger from long term parking last sunday night.  The cruise was just fantastic, "Ike" (hurricane) kept us out of one island because of rough water, but otherwise caused us no problems,,,,,,,,, ALMOST ! ! !
  I'd parked the ranger in the drive as soon as I got home, and "Ike"  arrived fifteen minutes latter (who'd of thought it could make all the way to Ohio and still have such power) blew down a large tree (three to four feet at the base) RIGHT THRU THE CENTER OF THE RANGER,,,,,,,, ITS NOW BENT IN A "V"
  What a terrible end of a wonderfull trip, ah what the he**, live goes on..............

   Anyway, I'm back and the electric power thats been out sense sunday night is back on.  In as much as I cant drive anyplace (ha ha) I thought I'd jump on here, say hello and all.  Had a great time on the trip, would do it again, recommend it to all.

  Have to check the rest of this site, look at email and etc., remember I'v been gone for the cruise, and this is the first we've had power for a week, I'v alot of catching up to do..........

  Thanks for all thee great comments, pictures and all,,,,,,,,,,,best to all,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Jim

  I clicked on here to answer you, and maybe all Re, the "underdash"

  Its after market,,,,,,this one is from "monkey-ward" (us older guys remember Montgomery Ward)

  These were all the "rave" back in the seventy's, I'm sure there must be a few left in junk yards (someplace) or even out in the back forty

  Thanks all for the great pictures and comments,,,,,,,best,,,,,,Jim

  See there,,  and I thought the term "back 40" wouldn't be known by the youngersters.
  I kind of knew that somebody would have one shoved off in the weads someplace, and its great to hear from you about it.  I'm sure somebody wants it, dont scrap it or toss it away

  Best as always and remember "A dirty mind is a terrible thing to waste"  Jim at jimspinto
