The tool you put on roof is a spark plug wrench

I’ve never seen one like that before, thanks!

Thanks! I try to be there every month. But it isn’t always possible

That makes two of us!

I've heard of it and it was totaly ridiculous, totally stupid. They to my knowledge was supose to ship these smaller trucks from Japan to this country without the beds on them then put the beds on them once they got into this country in order to avoid the tax. Totally stupid. He's another assingn ideal thes dumb politicians came up with. Here in Western Pennsylvania a steel mill will make the steel, send it up to Lake Erie, put that steel on a boat or barge, send it out to the Lake for a few house to a few days, then bring it back onto the shores of this country. That steel in now considered foreign steel in order to avoid another ridiculous tax. Try and figure that one out will ya.

It was a sweet little truck!

I was pretty pumped to find this one!

Nice Ben. I've never seen one before. Had a ranger for over 17 years,98 model. The old fords we're tough trucks. Look forward to the,will it run video.

Thanks for the kind words Dean!

This is unfourtionally true, however if you take steps to prevent these little trucks from rusting out, you can keep them for a good long time. What you would need to do is get black rust olem paint and spray paint the whole underside of the truck, frame, chassis, floor boards, underside of the bed, everything, and do this at least every two to three year intervals to keep road salt and chemicals from eating away from the trucks body. Second, wouldn't hurt to take the fenders off and coat them with paint underneath them to. This will help in a large way and manner to help keep this little truck from getting chewed up from road salts and chemicals. These days, they do make a paint on bed liner that you can coat the bed with to protect the bed from getting scratched up when hauling things around, which is important to do. And lastly, a good washing once a week along with a paste wax also goes a long time just the same to. Stay away from that liquid windex spray on wipe garbage as it's not wax, it's just windex in a bottle. You need a can of good car wax to use to matain the outside of the truck so it will last a great deal of time and good use forevermore.

Very cool! Be sure to check out the little series I did on this truck! I created a playlist for it!

Thanks for watching! I love Puddins Fab Shop! Wishing you and everyone else the best for the New Year!
