KoldKnee1983 Ranger Regular Cab 2.2L Perkins

[KoldKnee1983]

Whats up everyone. I'm KoldKnee and I am planning on doing a build blog for my 1983 Ford Ranger 2.2L Perkins designed for creeping and crawling everywhere possible(very slowly haha).

Quick facts about what i think i know when i bought it.
-Sweet Flat bed
-2wd, but needs to be converted to 4x4
-supposed 116,000 miles on it
-rims and tires from my 2001 Ford Ranger 2wd I already sold, stock
- 4speed transmission

Things I would like to do to it.
-junkyard jewels to get 4x4
-upgrade axles and suspension to lift enough for 35'' tires


As far as I go, I will be working on it slowly but surely definitely have the will to do it. My pocket book is going to be a little stingy but I will spend money on essentials. I hope to find alot of stuff in the junk yards. Do all the work myself, and one day have a ride to rival my good friend who rides a Jeep XJ.

Please feel free to give me any advice, make suggestions, talk crap, or what every floats your boat. I look forward to reading all your previous posts and learning alot from the great people here at The Ranger Station.

Welcome to TRS man. I've always thought those little 2.2s were pretty cool. You got any pics of the truck?
