Picked up this jewel yesterday...needs some work but was a one owner. Bad trans, 2.5 4r44e
John

 

Fix it up and sell it again?

 

I'm not sure what its future is at this point, the trans is supposed to be bad but there is no fluid on the stick. The guy cut the fuel line to try and drain the gas out of it so I fixed that and started it this evening but the motor is questionable because the top end rattles...it was cheap ...lol who knows at this point maybe I'll run into another 4wd frame! May even part it.
John

 

Make it into an electric Ranger!!!

 

That would be ok but expensive....lol It might end up with a 3.0 since I have a spare....lol
John

 

i have a 98 grille, headlights, header panel, hood and fenders if you ever need em.

 

I say 5.0 swap and lower it! lol

 

is that a long bed?

im interested to see what you do with the rust on the rear wheel well.

 

Fix it......paint it matte black....and i wanna buy it. lol.

 

mine is matte black, want to buy it?

 

uhh.....no. yours is a matte black with some kind of std growing on it.

 

haha, its primer and rust.

 

yea.....rust = std.


HAHAHA.....ok...we're done. sorry to hack.

 

No long bed. 6ft bed.

I say lower it dude! Put it on it's nuts!

 

not bad not bad. i say keep it and run it gas is expensive.

 

That would be a possibility but probably too expensive.

The bed and the bottom of the tailgat is the only rust...6'

Anythings possible, maybe we can work something out

yep 6' I probably won't get into lowering due to the extra expense...but it would look good

I was actuaully thinking of a 2 or 3 tone paint job...that blue is fugly!!!

 

I probably won't keep it, I won't be able to keep 2 registered...my oldest daughter has her permit and my younger daughter is old enough and wants to take the test for her permit...I would have to sell the black truck...uh... gas isn't hurting that bad yet, but its getting there...lol

Hey Brian I am going to send you an email with that guys number and the info
John

 

fix it for them to drive.

 

or better yet part it out and give me those seats lol.

 

They wouldn't drive it...I have already heard how ugly it is...lmao Those seats arent tore but are really dirty.
John

 

whattt..

that truck would clean up nice.

clean the truck inside and out, new rims, chrome bumpers and some 30% tint on the rear window.

 

I agree but they are teenage girls...lol

 

I got it! Hydros and 13in gold 100 spokes!!!!!!!!

 

Looks good John can't wait to see the process of cleanin it up

 

my gf would have loved to have a truck when we started driving. paint it pink or purple. with some chrome rims and bumpers and they will love it. lol
