Sold this guy a transmission for his Ford ranger and he pulls up in this jeep!
Right away I noticed the TTB under the front and he started talking lol
He had owned a 92 ford ranger 4.0 since new and a tree fell on it unfortunately. Well he had an old jeep that needed a drive train. He took the cab and bed off and set it on the ranger frame after rebuilding the engine, transmission and transfer case. I love it!
Picture quality is not the greatest but y’all get the point 🤟

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
I'd drive that all day.

the grey-t escape
My first car was a amc concord, had a chrysler automatic, delco ignition & alternator and a ford stamping in the steel wheels. Might not if been original but I do know amc used mopar automatics at least and the 232-6 was a scrapped gm design.

If you don't have time to do it right will you have time to do it over?
I like it. I would have liked to build a Jeep pickup like that instead of my Ranger but I would have had to throw away everything but the body and bare frame. I suspect the facination would have worn off when I drove it because of the wind noise but I still like they way they look.
