My Rigs, what do ya think?

[rusty ol ranger]

First off, an old Familer face....yeah i put the cap back on just to get it out of the barn....87 Ranger XLT 2.9/5sp

Then, my baby, 96 F150 XL 4x4, 300inline,E4OD,3.55 gears, and 3/4ton springs in back

This is my project truck....78 Ford F350 Custom 400M, 4bbl/headers rv cam, BWT18, 4.30 Dana 70 DRW 2wd ...(Wish it was 4x4)

Im going to cut the box down about 1/4 the size (its actually an orignial Ford Box), weld the bumpers on, and paint it the same color as the F150.

Heres my Daily Driver, before i hit a chicken and busted out the grille....08 Colorado 2wd 2.9L/5sp

Heres my old Tractor, its a 48 Int'l cub my Grandpa bought brand new in 1948, its got all the orignial documentation, a rebuilt engine, and even a snow plow that im gonna mount and use this winter, and of course the old "Kub Klipper" 48in belly mower.....

What do ya guys think?

think you need to fix that ranger its looking mighty sad, other than that i like the 96 f150 i have owned two of those body styles. i also like the 78, i used to plow with a 73 1ton with a 460 in it. and the colorado..... traitor

 

[rusty ol ranger]

I wanted a Ranger when i got the colorado, but do you know how hard it is to locate a new Ranger with crank windows, rubber floors, stick shift, and a 4 cylinder?

[Motorcraft]

yeah, i have found a few tho, going to a dealer and asking them to do a search they will find anything you want.

 

[rusty ol ranger]

Yeah but i went to the chevy lot and they had one in stock, and plus i get a GM supplier though work.

[Motorcraft]

well if you got it cheaper and did not want to wait then there ya go. but please get some new body parts for the 1st gen.

 

[Jimmeh]

Got anymore pics of that buck fifty?

 

[rusty ol ranger]

Yeah....

Its a 96 F150 XL, 300 6, E4OD, 4wd, got a manual T case with auto hubs (someone must of ordered it that way), D44/8.8 combo, and 145,000 miles. It had 118,000 on it when i got it. All ive done is got some of the rust fixed (there wasnt much there to begin with), put on duals (yeah i know, its a straight 6, but it sounds good with dual glasspacks), and put 3/4ton springs in back after the stock ones busted. 31x10.5BFG A/T's and a K&N filter.

Its been a good truck, jut had to replace a water pump in it.

Nice Cub......

A friend of mine did a complete restoration on one (including rebuilding the flathead four).

Now it simply sits in the front yard like a showpiece.......

 

[rusty ol ranger]

I use mine. Its amazing what a tractor that size can do.

Its no M or H, but it pulls and mows and pushes anything i need.

Don't they only make something like 8-10 HP?

I guess my friend's afraid of scratching the paint

 

[AngryLepercon]

Nice F150 my father has a 96 or 97 F350 same color. I love it.

 

[rusty ol ranger]

I think they make 10hp at the PTO on the back, i think the engine makes like 20. They got like a 4 or 5 inch stroke though and some hellacious gearing.
