Very nice, that could have some serious potential.

 

thanks guys, i will get some current pics. i wish i woulda took more time making it look good under the hood. i am going to change the torque converter at the end of the summer and i think im gona pull the engine out and make the engine bay look nice...paint it and get rid of all the extra wires and what not....i also need to address the interior and paint but those will be the last 2 improvements.

 

well its about time that a posted a pic of it outside the garage...

 

that truck is sweet. why is the front a different shade than the back?

 

that truck is sweet

 

thanks, car pulled out in front of me 2 weeks after i got. paint used be a closer match but something happened to it. never did have them put the striping on, dont remember why. it will get paint sometime. for now its just kinda a rat truck...lol

 

Any plans for mods?

 

yep,
gona put the proper torque converter in at the end of summer
i also want to try to make a custom dash like one of the other guys on this forum did.
i really need to make the engine bay look nice and thats when i will try to battle the slight overheating issue.
with the front apart i will maybe try to either put a bigger radiator or alluminum radiator in it or maybe a second fan.
the final thing will be paint.
at this point time is gona be the bigger issue than money.
it is hard to tear apart something that runs but if i do it during winter it shouldnt be too big of deal since it has no heater anyway...maybe i will try to rig up a heater box and heater core

 

nice

 

electric cooling fan quit working, the bearing was squealing for a day and now it froze up. called JEGS, they said they would hav fed ex pick it up at my house and send me a new one at no cost to me, glad it comes out and goes in fairly simple

 

so, as i was leaving lowes yesterday some guy in a nice lincoln truck was parked by my ranger. he got out after i started it and said he heard me pull into the parking lot and waited for me to come out so he could ask me bout my truck. i guess the thrush turbo tube mufflers dont really muffle that much...lol
he said he always wanted to build a ranger with a v8 so i showed him underhood and told him bought the issues he will face. it felt good to have someone in a sweet lincoln truck admire my beat up old ranger but he was a true gearhead and if he can afford a lincoln i bet when he builds his ranger it will be nice!

 

so, i re registered
been a while

 

put ranger up for sale today. been thinking bout sellin it and my escape to buy a nice f150 but if it doesnt sell then i will finish the project...

gona take it down to frame and start over..kinda

rebuild rear end, replace steering gear and power steering pump both are leaking, new brake lines, new fuel tank and lines, cut tranny crossmember so i can make it removable, get headers re coated, blast and paint or rhinoline frame and underside of bed and cab, redo interior and paint the whole thing, also need to replace oil lines with braided steel. btw, i replaced shocks front and back and on back i put spring shocks that increased load capaicity ALOT! Now i can haul scoop and half of mulch with no squat!
I wana make it a daily driver with no worries

 

also want to make custom dash like i seen someone on here did

 

oh yeh i priced it a bit high at $4000
