Welp...the FCs that were for sale locally sold last spring apparently...the site needs to update their for sale section.lol

I did find a real rough old bird in upstate NY...conveniently only 30-40 mins from my GF's place. Might have to drag a trailer up there next trip.

But with your track record of body damage, don't you think you think picking a body that is tough to get parts for is a good idea??? And FC would look like a crumpled beer can after a few hits.

For the records, they still look cool.

Perhaps moving the cab to the exact middle of the frame front to rear and side to side would help. You could even narrow it so it only fits you lol

I made zero progress on the Ranger in the past 2 months..All I have managed to do is put the rear axle on jacks stands since the tires were getting lower than low.lol

Still been slammed at work and putting in 60+ Mon-Fri with no end in sight. We shut down for 12 days at Christmas, but the Ol Lady will be in town, so I doubt Ill get much time in the garage.




I stopped by Summit this past weekend and scored a 90mm Lightning MAF and an AGR Saginaw pump w/ Ford brackets for less than half of list.

I also bought decent HF 2 ton cherry picker for stupid cheap off a friend of a friend.


Finally finished plumbing up my compressor, and wired up my welder in the garage.


This weekend I hope to get the furnace hung up and running, then add some lighting to the garage. Hopefully the other bay will be cleared out next week, my cousin was using it as a storage unit for all his junk while he was moving from his old house to his new one on the other side of town. Once his junk is out I can hang up the bolt bins and get all the boxes/buckets of hardware off my work bench and start bring over my axles/parts to put them together. After that I should be ready actually start doing things again.
