Almost the same color & interior mine was when I originally started out. It is a good looking rig & you have a lot of potential there.

hope to have body off frame by next week so i can repaint frame and driveline , only rust is on inner fender panels that i could see , so far

Okay, wrong kind of 777. Haha. I was refering to the Caterpillar haultruck. I had no idea there was an aircraft called triple 7. Learn something new everyday. Right on, welcome to the Bzone

i've been looking for one. i found three when i lived in virginia, but decided not to get them because i was moving back south and didn't want to trailer a verhicle 900 miles. now i've found one in the panhandle area of florida. it's a 75 in decent shape, but now my wife tells me that i can't get it yet because she wants to get more bills paid off first before i start a project like that. sucks yeah. well, hopefully one day. i really like this one you've picked up. keep it going.

Ranger interior package....nice. You don't see many of them that have the side panels for the bed anymore.

 

[777mechanic]

more than likely i'll sell the interior panels. the rear ones where not there when i bought it the first owner said it had a camper in it for the first 20 years .
