Can anyone suggest which red top 6v optima for my 39 ford standard. My car is stock and does not have extras that require more power. Will also not be starting in cold weather. I looked at Amazon and they have several optima.

Just started working on my 39 ford with my grandchildren and we are learning and having fun. Oldest is 13 and does most of work.

Yes..I had money saved and was allowed to buy my car. I also drove in the field till I was 16.

Ok..I new the detergent compared to non-detergent is a hot topic. Once I get started will be changing oil frequently. Grandkids and I are having fun and learning about a car I bought when I was 13 years. How things have changed, cannot imagine my grandkids buying a car at that age.

Thought the old engines liked non-detergent and detergent would cause leaks. I know there has been a lot of discussion on this

Still working on things to get it started but will research wheel comment after it is running. Hope my grandsons will be here long enough to change the oil. After lot of reading have decided on non detergent. The auto store looked at me like I was nuts when I asked for it.

Now I am starting to like your thoughts on the ranger. It does have plow but has 143000 miles. My lane is 1/2 mile and gets cold sitting on my tractor when it is snowing. $2,700 sounds like way to much

You make it sound so easy

Thanks for all of the information. I decided against the bronco ii and now looking at a Ford Ranger 1988 xlt 2.9 v6 engine. Has 143000 miles also has Meyer plow. Any thoughts on value of ranger and use for plowing. Wants $2700

Thanks Mart

Going to look at it tonight. Any thoughts on what to look for. Thanks for your help

First wash after many years. Difficult to wash inside of my building but moving things around so they do not get wet. One front tire has a scraping sound when I spin, cannot spin one rear tire. Any thoughts. Thanks for your help!

And ideas on value of Meyer plow

Starting to scare me about this car

It has an Meyer plow on it and would use to plow my lane. Any idea of value with this type problem. Say body looks fair. Hope to see it today.
