[Danger-Ranger96]

well guys, as you all know, i sold the ranger...however, i may have picked out my next truck

i have a job now, and am paying the bills, plus i have 11gs in the bank to do whatever the hell i wanna do with.

i think you need to share the 11g's with your friends at TRS ..

 

[Danger-Ranger96]

lol!

its really i have from savings anyways

i need another truck, this time its going to be full size i think, theres just something about 92-96 f-150 short boxes that i love.

but i wouldnt mind having that '48! sure the 351M is junk imo, but my friend has a carbed 460 that he was going to turf...no reason why i wouldnt throw her in there

 

[88rangerboy]

That '48 is just freakin sweet!

Not a big fan fo jackedup old trucks i dunno what it is but i think they should reman stockish or be slammed, choped, channeled, and shaved. but I've have seen a few nice ones if you like it go for it your money lots of power and 4x4 looks like fun.

Is that truck sweet? Oh Yeah!

Would I take it off road? No Way I wouldn't want to scratch that. You could even forget putting anything in the bed.

Looks more like a big boy's weekend toy.

For the same or less you could get a Ranger that would be a far more comfortable vehicle. And with the 4.0, likely more powerful and definitely better gas mileage.

Are you looking for a DD or a playtoy?

a 351modified wouldnt be my first choice but my friend had one in his 75 f150 and it was bullet proof. it got very loud and sounded good but it was slow, but it never broke in 3 years of being beat on hard daily.

Love it! I had a picture of a similar one on my bulletin board for several years as an inspiration. Oil sands project get put on hold due to the low gas prices?

you are starting to sound like our government..

 

[BigJohn76]

i hate you.





that thing is sweet. i want one.

 

[93Ranger4x4]

you can make 351/400m's flippin scream, yeah they have a bad rap but i buddy of mine has a 79 f-250 4wd with a 400m in it, built up a little bit and that thing will flat out run like no other!

 

[RedneckSTX]

I the old ford, but I would change the 351m and the yellow, but it is your money if you like/want the truck buy it.

 

[Danger-Ranger96]

the oilsands havent really been put on hold persay, just slowed down exponentially since last summer.

Yes i'm looking for a playtoy, i dunno if i'd wheel that either but it would be nice to have just cause i'm a fan of having something unique and to me that tops the chart. and up here that would be a definate pussy magnet going to look at it on tuesday so i'll make up my mind when i check it out.

 

[wahlstrom1]

Bit of a drive just to check it out, lol....

Should get THIS instead as it's actually built, and not just a body on old 1/2 ton running gear.

"its a Ford so it leaks oil"? WTF? sounds like a chevy boy. The wiring looks a little dangly, has this guy ever heard of conduit or tie-wraps? Not too bad of a deal, except expect to spend some bucks on it, and have a 4X4 that you can't use. I'd try to fine a 2WD but that just me.

I'm restoring a 1950 F-1 right now with the original flathead. What a money pit...! But a pussy magnet as you said, and who can put a price on that?
