I thought I'd show some progress on my project truck. Well I picked up this jewel with a good drivetrain, frame, and clean title. 4.0 5sp

well i now understand your "fordish and rangerish" info lol that looks like a lot of work goodjob man
 
Thanks, I am trying to get it roadworthy but there just never seems to be enought time...lol With some luck maybe this week/weekend I can get road worthy.
 
gee...i have been the last 6 months swapping out my broken dana 35 with my new goood dana 53.....and what is funny the dana 35 that i am swapping in is the stock one......i swapped the one from the 90 into the 87....swapped the 28 fron the 87 into the 90....lifted the 90...bought a 35 from guy from here in mass then broke that...now swapping in the stock 35


i just need to find 2 more hours in the day light......thursday is looking good!!!!!!
 
I feel your pain man. My biggest hold up has been rewiring the dash for power doors, but I've got those woking now. Now I am trying to figure out if I can use 04 air bags with the 2000 controller. I pulled the bed back off today to paint the frame.
 
Actually the plan is to keep the red one and sell the black one. Its a 99 with a 01 edge front end.
 
Well I've been driving it for a couple days, runs great! its like a hot rod compared to my other truck, the 4:10's and manual trans make a big difference. I picked up this dual exhaust at a junk yard for 50 bucks!
