Just washed her yesterday and thought I'd snap some pics this morning before I go out driving on these dirty PA roads :) Any question bout the truck just ask, ENJOY!! :icon_thumby:



got rear leafs out of a 92 ex cab Ranger, probably why it's raked, might do a shackle flip down the road....but I'm waiting on getting an 8.8 before I do that.





air cleaners a tad large for my taste...

bare bones interior, only "comfort feature" is my radio and hurst shifter lol

temp gauge, which I've noticed she never runs hot :) never over 190. The blue switch on the right is for the Holley Fuel pump and the green one isn't wired to anything yet

the raked susp gives a hot-rod look, i like it.

I was about to say that. Throw some welds wrapped in hoosiers on there and it'd look BAMF.
Yea these rims/tires were on it when I bought it, their only 14's so I'm on the lookout for some decent 15 inch tires, I got some American Racing rims I'd like to throw on it, but I need some tires for them, OR I also have 2 14 inch hoofprint rims and 2 15 inch hoofprint rims from a newer Ranger I think would look neat :)

Yea the hood had so many scratches and little rust bubbles on it I sanded it down and painted it black for now, still need to go over it more but it looks good from a distance :)

lol I just bought it back last weekend. I just got it street legal the end of last week, so I'm still working out all the bugs before I take it to the strip, me and some friends are planning on running our Rangers down to Cecil County drags. Last time this truck was on the road legally was 99'. So it's been a project for quite some time now. I did take a few friends for rides in er the other night and showed em how it'll light em up and get sideways pretty easy...:) And as soon as people hear the exhaust, it looses the sleeper factor....hehe oh well, I'm keeping the body all stock looking, just clean, with nice rims

the 14 and 15" deer hoof rims would accent the hot-rod look even more! im visualizing wider/meaty 15's in the back and low pro 14's in the front :D
