I'll have more pics later but the details are 94 ranger body on 75 half ton frame, 289 v8 4 speed 205 case, 44 front 9in rear. Still needs paint and front bumper and a few little things but I couldn't pass it up

Haven't done much with her yet, only drove around town a little. Their's quiet a few things I want to do but that will be a while and I won't to get my other one on the road before I do any thing much too this one. Plus being in the dog house with the wife over does not help ether!

We've all been there. Still. Its gonna be a sweet machine once you sort it out.

Been crapy weather lately around here, and work and kids haven't had much time time to work on the trucks. But did get a steering kit from ruff stuff for the new ranger. Installed it today and still have to do alignment yet.

Worked on the ranger today, and should have all day tomorrow too, wife went on vacation with her kids so have free time.
Installed the gear banger I got a while back, still need paint yet but I'm able to shift.

Also took my hydraulic clutch off to bleed it again, got some more air out and going to let it sit over night hanging up. Wasn't pushing the fork far enought to disingage clutch so I'm hoping it was just that. If everything goes good I might be able to drive her out of the garage tomarrow.

Also picked up a dana 60 and sterling 10.5 awhile back, not sure the plans for it yet but I could pass up it up for the deal I got for it.

Well... guess you've made some progress since I was on here last. Looks/sounds great man. Got to emit... I'm a little jealous. Only thing I've done to mine in two years is make a rear bumper.

First time in almost 2 year she drove out of the garage under her own power

Cleaned up and primered the replacement rear frame section today

Also got the front bumper back on

Got the new frame section in today, still going to add a couple more cross supports to stiffen it up and hopefully not bend again

Got the frame together and the suspension all on
