well guys... here is my 87 ranger, yes, the bed is stock and so are the graphics and brush bar and the roll bar in the bed.... had it for a while now and got sick of seein it rot away, so i decided to start my 302 swap finally, its not done yet and probably wont be for a month or two until i can get some more cash to do it right and once its runnin good ill be throwin all my new panels on it and preppin it for paint... itll be torch red when shes done.... let me know what you think and hit me up if you've got any questions

ive seen a few of the gen 1 stepsides but i thought they were custom jobs? either way as a fellow Steppie driver thats gonna be one NICE truck. whats the plans for it besides the 5.0?

after i get it goin i'd like to get the body cleaned up and repainted then some time after that a 2/2 or 3/4 inch drop. im going to be running a side exit exhaust. black out the rims and flat black hood. i have some ideas for the interior i think will turn out nice too. i just want it to be a nice weekend driver that can still haul some ass when needed too.

here in a little bit ill be headin out to go see how much of the wiring can get done, and if i get sick of doin that ill be puttin the new rear end under it too. 9" with 3.73's. cant wait to get it fired up and take it for a test drive. im sure ill be very traction limited though.

Damn, those are as rare as the 94-99 Rams with stepsides. Looks good. definitely worth restoring.
