im not really sure where to put this but this seemed like the best place
this is my first post here and i came to the experts because i know nothing about this ranger i bought
its a
1987
ford
ranger
2.9
4x4
std cab
LONG bed
5 speed
its a perfectly good running truck, daily driver quality its just the body is rotted out and dented and two different colors
the other truck i have is a
1987
ford
ranger
3.0 (yea i know, its actually a 87 ford prototype engine)
2wd
std cab
SHORT bed
4 speed
this truck is in pieces and we have never had the engine started, but the body has fresh pant on it since tear down,
overall, what i want to do is shorten the frame on my long bed truck to fit the short bed on it, along with the rest of the good body, plus the shorter wheelbase is better for ground clearance while wheelin anyways
i am fully capable of doing all this myself, i plan on a z shape cut, and chop some of the end off, the only part that concerns me is it has the larger single 17 gallon fuel tank, i might just have to fab something up so it can hang thier
has anyone done anything like this or thought about it?
any help would be appreciated
