The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly Build

Il Brutto · 02-11-2011, 01:23 AM

Here is my Ranger, Tuco, fresh off the trailer. August '09.

First thing I did was take the bed off.

Then paint it

And lower it

More later

thread so far=fail... how dare you leave us with 5 pictures and say "more later" that's just cruel as hell!

**dangerranger83** · 02-11-2011, 02:43 AM

Got a history behind the truck, personal experiances, why you got it, etc.....?

What lowering kit did ya go with? Have to say wish my frame wasnt rustd or I would paint it. What are the future plans for the truck?

--weezl-- · 02-11-2011, 02:55 AM

the rear is a shackle flip, and the axle is now above the springs... front looks like just a spindle kit and springs

But the good thing is, they are keepng a ranger alive and not just scrapping it off to a JY.

Ok Sorry guys, it was getting late.

lets get into some custom stuff

And some rims

Gotta go...sorry more later...again lol.

OK. The theme of the truck is The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly old school shop truck. I had the idea for this in 2008 and it took almost a year to find the right truck. The truck could not be from around here(rust belt) and I needed a good foundation. I went to all truck Carlisle 2009 and found my truck...$400.00 To look more old school the factory lights had to go...all of them. Round headlights, f100 markers, 78 Ford truck rear tails. Worn out paint and red smoothies, dog dish caps, and white walls. Good, Bad, and Ugly means guns, bullets, explosives, and Mexican blankets. More to come guys!

Secret...This truck is way more done than pictures are showing and there are newer pictures on this site somewhere that will be in this thread soon. Explore and have fun!

I will say the new paint on the frame and rims looks good.
