Dont know how many trucks it took to keep this one going.

This is the truck that my dad gave me.

What do you think (ya I know its going to take alot of work to get it to look better).

the truck looks like a few trucks to keep it going. But the truck the solid.

 

[funkingonutz]

you should herculine the floors.....that will make the interior look better than all that rust and dirt ya got there

Do i see a patch there on the driverside???

 

[funkingonutz]

And im taking that manual transfer case from u.....U just dont know anything about it yet!!!!!! LOL

 

[dangerranger83]

Im putting floor boards that I cut out of another ranger on top of my current floor boards and welding them to it. Ya thats a patch on the drivers side. It keeps my foot from going into the factory hole that has a blot that holds the cab down. As a matter of fact there is 4 patches (combo of fiber glass and welded sheet metal) keeping me from seeing the ground!!! Btw the drivers seat is falling through the floor board so when driving your sitting at an angle. But I will be re-doing the truck and will be making a build forum soon (as soon as I sell my vintage Aermacchi Harley dirtbike for money to redo it).

1st thing I'd do is an interior swap from a similar truck so that it is all the same color. Very good starting point.

 

[dangerranger83]

I want to put the dash and steering colum in it from an 89-94 explorer. Has anybody dont this swap recently and are there any problems such as wiring issues, speedometer problems, etc...? I can splice wires in and do rewiring thats no problem for me. Im also going to be putting a 2.8 liter in it and getting rid of the 87 2.3 liter my dad put in it.

If your gonna do the dash swap, might I suggest the door panels also, Cheap and no worry about the armrest fall of issue.
