74’ Explorer 5.0 C4

[Mark]

I purchased this one in 2003. It’s been my daily driver ever since. The paint is the only thing that’s left since I bought it. Everything has been changed. I’ll post up a list of specs. I built this to be a driver/trail truck. I drive it or flat tow it to most events. Coming up on my 14th consecutive BBBB.
