ok so im a big chevy fan but you cant beat the price it is today to build a ranger into a play prerunner and well i came across this 84 ranger from a guy that just started workin at my auto shop. all he wanted for it was 400 bucks!
the BAD:
water pump was shot, tranny is about due for a new one, and just a few other minor things
the GOOD:
motor runs like a champ, rear end will be fine till i get the 8.8 under her, has pro comp 5.5 lift with 2" over I Beams, new shocks, and was CHEAP
In the works:
Just finished stripping paint and primered, fixed water pump, fixed front wheel bearings and put new front brakes on, put some eagle alloys on and painted semi-gloss black, hass close to new 33x12.50x15 bfg all terrains on now, added cup holders (pimp status now lol), and fixed some little things. here are some pics of progress
just picked it up
before and after paint along with the new wheels and tires
i will soon be droppin a 4.0l out of a 1996 Exploder and 8.8 rear end out of that same exploder, then a M5OD trans will soon follow. from there ill be puttin a long travel setup up front and either the giant 64" leaf spring kit out back or jsut regular deavers out back. next will be a full cage front to back then all teh little stuff like seats, harnesses, spare tire mounts, lights, bumpers, and so on.

. It has a few minor things wrong like interior pieces broke, valve covers like some oil, needs tune up, and tires but i could care less for that stuff other than the tune up since its my donor vehicle for teh ranger! tranny is about to go in the exploder but it made it home, all for 700 bucks! motor runs really strong and rear end has no leaks! cant wait to get this thing in the ranger and run her down the road! gotta find a M50D soon now
