I have a old, rusty '87 ford ranger 4x4 that I am currently fixing up with my dad and I have two questions... First, are there any alternatives to the bed bolts? They are rusted right out and they are like $15 apiece off lmc truck and that is just the bolt then there is the clips which are $10.... So is there any place to get them cheaper or anything I could use instead? Also... I was looking at one of those K&N filters and was wondering first of all weather it would really make any noticeable difference to the little 2.3 litter 4 cylinder engine that is in there. And if it does, I was wondering if it would be possible to just build the connecting pipe myself and buy just the filter. I mean it's like $150 for that piece of metal tubing and it seems kind of steep.....
