the truck is getting parked for a while , i found an 87 F-150 to DD for $450 until i can get the parts together to rebuild her from the ground up

EDIT: i may have just found a ranger on craigslist , totalled , 97 with a 2.3 and an 8.8 L/S with 3.73 gears , $300 for the whole truck , hopefully the guy still has it , if so , i am going to look at it tomorrow and confirm the 3.73 and 8.8

well it turns out the same guy had both trucks , i bought them as a package deal for $700 , the ranger only has a 7.5 in it , so i am gonna salvage waht i can for my truck from it (including the factory power sunroof ) and then sell the rest , it has 46k original miles on it , totalled in the winter of 00-01 , drove under its own power into his dads backyard , and sat since

i put my TRS windshield banner on my truck , will take some pics in a few

also , i am swapping my 7.5 back in for the time being , hopefully i can salvage the 8.8 housing

well i figured i would bring this back from the dead , i am down in jersey right now , picked up an engine , trans and everything else i need for the 4.0 swap , stopping up in north jersey to pick up another rear axle ( this one has the correct gears and has never been touched ) , on monday i am gonna swap the axle out of the blue truck ( again ) and make it so i can drive it down to college , the gonna take the backrack off ( do not trust anyone at college ) and put the new engine/trans in the bed of it , i will get some new pics up tonight of the engine/trans and axle , and some other ones on monday when i do the swap again , and some pics of my new steel inner bed for it
