A. Camper shell installation and size?
I got a camper shell some months ago, which i intend to install on my ,'95 ranger truck.
Got few issues, requesting for your helps:
1. I have got a camper shell, from one of the ranger trucks, similar to mine, from a junkyard. But the truck i got it off from, is a manual drove transmission, while mine is an automatic.
Those the transmission drive systems, determine the camper shell dimensions, or it's just the model years of the trucks that are the main determinants here?
2. I have the hooks used to affix the camper shell, tp the truck rear, but i really don't know if there is a procedure involved in it's installation.
B. Replacement gasoline tank?
Realised my gasoline tank started leaking at the location where the rear strip is tightened to the chassis. I meant, the iron strip holding the tank to the chassis at the rear.
I noticed the tank is plastic, and probably, old, that's y we got the crack that resulted in to the leaks.
Is there away i could get a non plastic gasoline tank of any other ranger or explorer that would work in the current location, or modify it?
I heard Econoline gasoline tanks can be used as replacement tank, while routed to the rear where the spare tyre is positioned?
Your inputs are welcomed.
Thanks
That's the truck top end where the camper shell is to be fixed
That's the hook that clamps down on the camper shell to the top of the bed
