South African Ranger

[grips]

I am from Sunny South Africa and enjoy your forum for quite a while.
Currently I am busy building a 95 Ranger. It sports a 347 stroker with all the smart goodies. As parts for American vehicles is quite scarce here in SA a lot has to be imported. I installed Dana diffs from an F250 as well as the NP435 and
NP205 T/case. A Ranger overdrive was added to the NP435.

Welcome to TRS...

Nice looking truck...but it occurred to me that if you are in Africa, where every image I have of it tends to include sand and dust blowing about here and there, would there be a problem with a breather setup like that?

I would be afraid to drive it too much on windy days...but I'm sure my impression of Africa is miles away from reality...

Welcome.
I know it's not close to you but I lived in Ghana while I was 3,4,and 5 years old while my dad taught high school there.

Welcome to TRS !! The motor & truck looks clean, but the garage (lathe & drill press) is spiffy !!
