Actually, it was an Oregon truck from 1992 up until 1998 or so, then it was bought by a local who traded it in for something and my late grandpa bought it in 2002.

So, not very many winters in it. It looks nice because it was redone by a friend of mine who's an autobody guy. Very nice work. Right now, she's in storage until the spring thaw.

It's a real honor!

I want to thank my friend Darren Berg of Scenic 61 Autobody of Duluth for working on the bodywork and paint job.

I would also like to thank my 2 brothers for helping me.

Eric helped me with all the sanding and preping of the paintjob and Tim helped me with showing me how to maintain the mechanics of the truck and for pretty much doing the whole V8 installation and miles and miles of wiring that took place under the hood and dash. Couldn't have even dreamed of this without them.

And the machinist John at work who has lathed and milled out parts upon parts for me.

And for all you ranger-heads for helping us get this far, either with the tips and tech or with the voting, thank you ever so much!!!! :icon_bounceblue:

I sure hope you're talking about the truck, because I'm only 24 years old!!:D
