[fordfan86]

oh ok i know right where you are, i live down on the creek road behind pudgies. thats not where i keep the truck though.

 

[brinker88]

small freakin world...

 

[fordfan86]

yeah no kidding.

i got a steering box for it the other day and put it on now im racking my brain tyring to figure out how to run the linkages and how to relocate the power steering pump so it'll clear the box.

How close is the wheelbase? Modifying the frame?

 

[fordfan86]

i forget the actual wheelbase specs but yeah i had to add like 6 or 7 inches to the frame. an extended cab ranger has the right wheelbase but i didnt have one available to me to use so i had to cut and stretch the frame.

 

[fordfan86]

i think i figured out the video so here it goes.

 

[fordfan86]

did some sanding on the hood today, realized its gonna need alot more work than i had figured on, im thinking that i need to learn how to work sheet metal.

 

[fordfan86]

found a drive shaft for her and patched the radiator now all i gotta do is get a new universal and get the right yoke for the tranny and it'll be on step closer.

edit; annnnd besides...this is a FULL-SIZE-TRUCK FORUM.....NOT for some runt Ranger like you got...

[fordfan86]

rust aside doorgunner, i prefer steel to plastic any day.

also this is the "other" forum and back in the day this was a full sixe truck. lol i think it qualifies.

annnnd i would actually like to see some pics of your it looks nice.

 

[doorgunner]
