Yes, it has been a while. The last time my Ranger saw the light of day back in 2000 it looked like this:
At the time I decided that I was going to tear it down to the frame and swap in the entire driveline from a 77 bronco. Life interrupted and it sat in my parents garage 3/4 of the way torn down for more than a decade.
I bought my parents house a few months back and have finally cleaned out the garage and got back at it. I have reversed course though and decided to go back to the original driveline as it is extremely low mileage.
I still have a long way to go though:
The driveline is in place, but I do have a few parts missing. Someone helped themselves to a few critical pieces of my old D28, most likely knowing that my intended destination for them was the scrap pile. A caliper, rotor, brake shoes, and a few pieces of hardware (spindle nuts and lower radius arm bolt) are all that is missing to get her back on the ground, and onto the next stage; paint.
