Ok guys I've been trying to search as much as possible but I sti have a couple questions.
1.) if I reuse the stock arm mounts(for now) I have seen people use the lower trans x member hole to position the axle. This puts it in the normal wheelbase position? Would I see much advantage to stretching it an inch if a 302 will be in the engine bay?
2.) I've seen the newer Rangers need to switch to a different steering gear box, but I haven't found anything that says definitely that the 97 box can or can't be used just to get the axle in. (Mostly need it to steer it in and outta thee garage while it's still under construction
3.) where is a good vendor for the 70's 2wd coil buckets that I can bolt on and don't cost an arm and a leg?...
Thanks guys
