    Me, too! It's even a '74, just like mine was.
    sigh.

    EDIT: although I just noticed the turn signals are different than mine. Mine had larger amber turn signals on the grille, with grey "rubber" boots behind them (perhaps you can see them in the photo below). The ones on this "Ranger" level trim Bronco look like they might have been borrowed from an earlier model year Bronco (???) -- perhaps (presumably) the whole grille? The red-plastic inlaid "FORD" lettering is right for the '74 Sport and Ranger, though. :p

    Saw a virtual twin to that one above a couple years ago at the Chattanooga Motorcar Festival.

    That engine & air filter housing are identical to mine. :) Now I'm gettin' all nostalgic.
    The turn signals look like my '74, too.
    I wonder if the spare tire carrier rattles like mine did as well. :p

    Gorgeous truck, gorgeous photos. Thanks very much for sharing them!

    EDIT: I just have to keep reminding myself that I could buy a lot of classic Altec drivers and horns for what a truck like that'd cost me... :#

    My buddy Bob calls me one day and says can you take a look at my dryer, it's making horrible noises. Me, sure no problem.

    So, I'm taking things apart and coins start falling out everywhere. After I finished there was a large pile of change on the floor, which had both of us laughing. I told him if this happens again don't call me. Years later he seems to have learned his lesson.

    How does one in that situation execute the “middle of the night #1”…? Or worse, #2…?

    You definitely don’t wanna wake up and forget where you’re at.
