Great deal!hey copperhead hows $130 plus shipping sound?
Right but a SWB means less weight and more weight transfer. I removed the powertrain from a SWB and swapped it into an Ex cab short bed. It was wayy slower. I weighed the trucks and the ex cab was 400lbs heavier.
-agree with u bothe gentlemen, i was just saying if it was me building one. that was just me stating what ive experience from 13 years of driving a regular cab long bed vs. 5 years of a regular cab shortbed. wow, how i miss the handling of the long bed. it was just so much more stable and predictable to me. but regardless, i like a good looking ranger, which this is and everybody has their preferences. i was just stating what mine would be. we are all here for the common good...rangers. not bashing you though...excellent truck!i thought about using a different donor, but i had this one on hand and already have a dd, so i figured if looked like it was gonna be a wet day, i could leave this on the garage. not to worried about the traction problems involved with a swb
this confused me but this made me figure it out. agreed, longer wheelbase is nice but i think SB REG cab would be more fun cause its smal and easy to manuever. ie: pull curves sideways at 65mph haha ( i can do curves right sideways at 35 with my stock 2-9 imagine what kinda trouble you could get into with a v8 haha) trucks lookin great BTW keep the pics flowing-agree with u bothe gentlemen, i was just saying if it was me building one. that was just me stating what ive experience from 13 years of driving a reg ular cab short bed vs. 5 years of a regular cab shortbed. wow, how i miss the handling of the long bed. it was just so much more stable and predictable to me. but regardless, i like a good looking ranger, which this is and everybody has their preferences. i was just stating what mine would be. we are all here for the common good...rangers. not bashing you though...excellent truck!
