New 92’ Ranger - A great build and a lot of fun

[alwaysFlOoReD]

i remember the first version of this truck....i was blowing my boggers off and lurching with a eb on woodward and the cops....like six of them on bikes roared up and surrounded me and started chewing my ass .... and they had just water boxed that truck...it had smaller tires but was set up to launch...i was on the left lane side with no water.

he was with another guy from national that did my blocks that had a cleveland ranger with dodge dakota steering rack....and a guy with a 363 stroker nash....the engine came from my dads ranchero caliente swap...Brian Thomson did that engine...i dont remember the first owners name, only briefly talked with him because...thats how it is out there... but back then it had a bedcover that was custom so it was mysterious to what was going on. if i remember right there was a guy from lincoln park that helped with the tubs and walls.

i am pretty sure they were mirrored like some of the trucks i was working with back in the 90s

What does water box mean?

its magical box full of water

 

[bobbywalter]

some of the businesses would have water hoses out....and lube the street up a bit.....heavy traffic at the cruise... its 3-4 lanes so water dont make it to the other side...


but...waterbox is drag strip terminology.

Ok I gotta break this down a little. You remember this truck getting built. It does have a line lock that works perfect...lotta fun just rewired it last night. What can you tell me about Brian and anything related to the motor or the truck? The first owner was a guy that worked for Ford from what I understand, then it went to his son when he passed, Art bought it several years ago and now I have it. The firewall moved back 5", wheel tubs and the trans tunnel are all great work they knew what they were doing that's for sure. I need more info! Regards, Dave
