Delete $750 obo Parts truck for lowering your ranger

[Malatek]

Parts truck for anyone that wants to lower their ranger. It’s a 94 B3000. I have the djm lowering I-beams, raised transmission crossmember, and a rear end from an 01 explorer with 3.73 gears and lsd installed. Also installed is the explorer rear view mirror with outside temperature and compass, an aluminum radiator with a dual speed electric fan. The truck will come with a rebuild kit for the rear end, c-notches, front knuckles and calipers from a 97 ranger, radius arm relocator brackets, coilover adapters with QA1 shocks, a brake master cylinder from an explorer with proportioning valve, an intake manifold from a Taurus (I forget the year, but it’s the plastic one), and 6 v6 mustang fuel injectors. All suspension parts were bought from Rick’s rangerz, I just never had the time to put them on before the manual transmission went out on me. The motor is in decent shape, I replaced all gaskets including head gaskets and lifters around 30k miles ago, but I didn’t get the oil pan perfect. The truck will also come with the toolbox in the bed. The body isn’t great, but it has and comes with good parts.

thanks a lot, after seeing your rust free undercarriage I'm going to cry every time I look under my rust belt Rangers.

good luck with the sale

Wish you were closer. I'd definitely put those DJM beams and 95-97 knuckles to good use on my 85.

Easily worth the price in parts alone, but definitely a fixable and usable truck. Body is a little beat up, but nothing that isn't repairable and more solid than a lot of them out there.

If you were local to me and my big truck weren't down, I'd probably buy and fix as is. Since I'm more of a first gen guy, it probably wouldn't be fix to keep. I'd leave the body as is. Swap in a spare Ranger axle to keep the Explorer for myself and leave the front as is or maybe install stock beams if cheap enough. Replace the transmission with a used unit, and flip it for what I had in it as a beater/work truck. Then take the now "free" suspension goodies to put on my first gen, or use when I inevitably reassemble the first gen "parts" truck into some sort of toy.

Truck is going to the junkyard in a week or 2. Get it while you can or get the parts off of it at the junkyard.

If you removed those front beams I'd possibly be interested.
