Greetings From Saint Paul, MN

Hi everyone, my name is Thaddaeus and I'm now the proud owner of my grandfather's (RIP) 1987 Ford Ranger Supercab 2wd 5spd. As you can see it's got a custom made wood bed hand made by my grandfather. So many Google searches about my truck have led me here so I figured I needed to join.

I am hoping to paint it drab olive grceen with black accents on either black diamond racing wheels or something similar. Looking into a 302 swap after I'm done with the suspension and body work.

That's what she looks like now.

This will give you an idea of the look I'm going for.

Want to take a late model 96-01 302 from an exploder and carb it in combo with the rear end but I'm coming from the import scene and not too familiar with the carb/v8 scene originally wanted to go turbo 2.3 but the v8 swap seemed more reliable and less fuss n cost
