Wanted to introduce myself. Im a Ranger fan from back in the mid '80s. As a kiddo, I was very interested in SCORE racing. I would travel around to race shops and ask if they needed help prepping Race trucks. Well one shop said yes, and it was a SCORE 7S Ranger. I learned enough there to start asking for jobs at local fab shops. Just so happens I got picked up by John Ehmke at AutoFab, and within 3 years I was shop foreman. I went on to developing suspension packages, cages, revalving shocks, prepping race trucks and chasing for SCORE races. I developed the Ford Ranger 17" travel kit for him for 2wd and 4wd rangers. Both kits were able to retain the A/C. What I learned from John was priceless! I've owned about 6 Rangers in my time from 2wd Prerunners, to newer body styles and 4x4's. I recently bought a 1988 4x4 Supercab for $2500 as a base for my project. It had 181K original miles, V6, Stick, OG black paint with original dealer stickers and immaculate interior. The A/C is so cold, you could hang meat in the cab. I have big plans to make it an Overlander truck. Desert and off roading is plentiful here in SoCal, and my family enjoys the desert on our M/C's and YXZ. Thanks for reading my intro, and hopefully my fab knowledge will be useful here.

 

BTW - Cant wait to ditch the wheels. I have a set of stock wheels for it.

 

Nice looking truck.
