the wheel is a 16x10 with a stock ranger centercap....the tire is a 33..just what was mounted on it...the 35's will be going on it

Sweet!! Well, turns out that trans that I went and got is not a C4, I thought it was a C6, but was told that the C6 was actually a 4 speed trans (overdrive), to my knowledge the C6 was always a 3 speed, but anyways I went and verified that it is an overdrive trans, it has a mechanical overdrive, meaning its in the shift pattern...so I guess I will be using it afterall, just need to get a TC and dipstick tube for it and I'm good to go on that end....still need some odds and ends parts before it can go in though...

ummmm....actually that would be perfect for the BII drivetrain as well....5 speed...

can use the rear axle out of the BII to use as the axle for the trailer.....after the drivetrain swap....

you an' Frank could set up a roadtrip.....

l8r, John

Man, that is close to me...hmm parts truck??

 

[Frank The Tank]

I wonder how the engine and front diff are....
looks like it'd be good for a t.case, trans and rear diff on my end of deal.

[86 slo-vo]

that one is hit a whole lot harder then the one we were looking at...and about 5 hours further away...but it is pretty cheep

 

[RangerSVT]

I'd buy it in a heartbeat just to part it out to get what I need, then sell the rest and make $$ from it, but I'm out of $$$....BTW Jon, do you have a spare passenger power mirror??

[Frank The Tank]

If you can make money off it, I'm sure you could come up with the money somewhere.
I'm about sick of flipping cars and trucks...... it gets old real quick.

You fix that F-150 yet?

His new doors are manual everything...... he has a thread with a bunch of spare parts soemwhere. I don't remember a power window though.

I haven't seen my neighbor outside yet to talk to him, but I'm pasing his house like twice a day trying to catch him...Guess I'll have to talk to my banker and see if I can he can hook me up...going to go with the F150 first, as its a whole lot closer (less than 1/4 mile) than the ranger, but I can always find fixer's on ebay, they always have them, I just dont have that much money or time to pick them all up to flip em...but it would be a pretty good income once I get started, good for investors too
