Well that good. Its nice to make money on projects. My last one I lost my butt on but had to sell it right then and there for college

 

the older ford truck?

Can't wait to see this truck finished John!

 

give me a week or 2 and she will be for sale...lol I have to make some tax money for yo'mama $#@^#@%

 

Well I finally got a chance to work on the truck a little. Between the snow, my sister being in the hospital and a death my time has been occupied. Anyway I got the tailgate fixed up and painted and took a few pics...

 

sorry to hear about your sister and a death. Truck looks good

 

Truck looks good

 

Thanks, I haven't even cleaned it up yet but that is on the agenda. The interior is pretty dirty.

 

that looks great man!
what did you do with the old tailgate?
you should start putting the colours in your sig so some of us can keep up.

 

where did you get that nice tailgate? way better then what was on there LOL.

This is what he started with.

 

Thanks to my buddy Brian, he supplied me with the tailgate. I had some work on it as you can see, it was from his rolled truck and I had one rust hole to fix. The factory paint code was BG I think it was called amber frost or metalic or something. That color wasn't available in the cheaper nason brand paint and was 80 a pint in the chroma base brand. I had them shoot the old tailgate with thier gun and came up with a code we could use with the cheaper paint. Its cinnamon frost from a 2002 kia. matches really good and was 31 a pint.

 

Looks great John! Can't believe you got that tailgate looking new like that! Just out of curiosity does that ranger have the 8.8 4.10 L/S?

 

Truthfully I never checked it but I know it has 4:10's because when I was changing the motor I saw the tag up front

 

i love that colour

i hate you right now

 

lol, sorry dude but I'll sell it too you if it makes you feel better...

I got the ABS sensor swapped out this evening. After I replaced it I realized I should have did a how too...lol Anyway here's an installed pic. I haven't drove it yet,,,hopefully its fixed!

 

Well what are you waiting for? Go out and drive it. lol

 

I just got home from work a while ago...maybe tommorrow...lol

 

total for this build what did it cost you?

have you ever thought about selling to people on here whose trucks get totaled? they could give you what you paid for the truck and labour outta their insurance monies.

it's a win/win. you fix and sell a truck, they get a new to them truck to replace. you guys might have to drive a little to meet up but. the way i see it, you guys are helping each other.

 

Sure I'd sell the trucks to people on here. I think anybody that sees my trucks could make me a reasonable offer. I always sell them below book so I'm not ripping anybody off.

 

Ok she's done!!!
Here's some whoring pics...lol

 

Very nice! How much are you going to sell it for?

 

Good job! I love that color too.

 

Truck looks good

 

Thanks!

I looked up the KBB price. Private party price range is from $4990-$5765. I figure I'll try for 4000 and listen to offers...

 

Sold!
