Owner: 86_cookiemonster

Vehicle: 1986 Ford Ranger

Specifications:

Rob's dad bought this truck new in 1986. It's had a long hard life. Instead of junking the truck he gave it to his son Rob (86_cookiemonster) to restore and have as his first vehicle.

When you look at the photo above, take in to consideration that this vehicle was transformed from a rust bucket to the truck you see now by a teenager. Most teens usually destroy the first vehicle their parents give them.

(We need to get this kid some chrome rims and wider tires though.....)

I'd like to thank everyone who voted for me. It really means a lot, and it is a great honor.

(I would love some chrome rims and wider tires) lol.
