I voted for you, even though dalpilot will win for sure, even though he just won on RPS.

I love this truck! Seriously. You've done an excellent job. The new pics are amazing!

That is one sweet ride. Sooooo clean. Gives me an idea of what mine could look like after some bodywork and paint.. Hmm...

i actually would have voted for you if i saw one of the updated pics, i have the third one as my desktop background

Thanks Guys, I really appreciate all your comments and maybe next time I can have a good run at it ;0) I'll be getting a new motor for it as I seem to have developed a rod knock.... Or what I think is a rod knock. I hope it's the top end myself... it's WAY cheaper. At least the truck still runs good and I'm averaging about 25-27 MPG so I can't complain !

if you're getting a rod knock, STOP DRIVING THE TRUCK IMMEDIATELY!!!!

Well upon further investigation it was the TIMING !! the dizzy tie down was loose and it was too far advanced, PROBLEM FIXED !! and the truck runs A LOT better :0) Whew.... thought I needed a motor!

Now I can find a Turbo motor at my leasure.

Dang I wished you lived closer, i would talk you out of the crome wheels you had on it, I love them old cragers.

And it is a very sharp truck

Dude just don't do anything to the ranger. Just keep it just like what you had done. If it was me i bye a cover for the bed & paint it the color of your truck. Like i did. Also don't drop the front or back keep it the stock height. I whish i did & not lowered long time ago & then had to raise it up for the engine swap.
Don't do a front visor or a back visor either. I did & now i whish i didn't. Thats my thought.
