Hey guy, i havent been on for a while so i figured id give u guys a update.

in about last march/april ish i bought i 94 f150 supercab 4x4 5.0L 5 speed for 100$, i needed a clutch and some TLC. So working at an auto wreckers i was able to come up with a fairly good clutch disc for free :icon_thumby: so i got that all together and drove it for a while. About june/july i sold the ranger for 1200$ cash and decided to do the motor in the f150 for good measure, 500$ later i had a new 5L. my most recent activities have included a raise at work from yard guy to tow truck driver, a lifted rolling chassis i bought from work for 300$ and tidying up my current truck. lately ive been hanging around fullsizebronco.com . So heres a bunch of pics :icon_hornsup:

my old ranger just for reference:

Welcome back...congrats on the promotion...sounds like you've made some progress on the vehicle front...

And I see you have the spotted brown steel plaque out your way...thought they didn't use salt in BC...it looks a bit worse than my undercarriage when I started...but as long as the metal is good it can be cleaned up and protected...:icon_thumby:
 
:icon_surprised:

You'e Movin on up!!!
 
haha yea, the salt is brutal but most of it is surface discoloration :)

lol its niice to be driving the 99 f450 superduty with the 7.3 and M/T is a tank
 
the international decktruck is niice too, the best part is i only need a regular lisence, no airbrake or anything
 
Too bad you sold that Ranger..One of my fav's on here.

Oh well, Sounds like you are doing good! That's great!
 
ya i miss the ranger, its gunna take alot more height and bigger tires to make the f150 as capable, as far as approach and departure angles go, but having the towing capabilities and the 5L is very niice
 
heres some more pics, curent state of my project truck, a shiney decktruck, my f150 with summers on.
