Everyone keeps asking to post links to my '94 Ranger build and I have to keep sending them away from here. So I figured I should have a build pic thread here too.
So here's what I started with:
One tired, beat, extended cab 4.0L, 5 speed Ranger with a blown transmission. I only paid $100 for it and tripled my money back when I sold the motor. I bought it specifically to drop a 302 in and I knew that 4.0L trucks have 8.8 rears in them. And being the fact that I've owned about a dozen Fox Mustangs, I had parts from probably a dozen more. The body of the truck was pretty straight except for the broken mirror, grille surround, driver's fender, bumper and the sidemarker. "Replacement" is a word that does not exist in my vocabulary, but "upgrade" is. I liked the look of the newer trucks better and I originally wanted to create a "mini-me" version of my '02 F150 Harley Davidson Edition.
