This Just Fell into my Lap

i was gonna ask whats with the red tailgate then i saw were you wrecked it, i hope its not to bad, ive never heard of a level two until this post

actually the red tailgate was on there because the PO backed into something and smashed the original tailgate so i pulled the one off of my 97 because i wanted something there that i could at least open and close

Nice truck! I like the shifters!

This reminds me of the time back in 2003 when I sent Ford a letter mentioning these Ranger sites and asking about a supercab/ long bed or Crew cab/ short bed option, a V8 option and if they would bring back the red and blue interiors. about 3 months later, I got a call from Bill Ford and he said thank you for the letter and we'll look into it. About a year after that, those red and blue seats in the FX4's came about. I can't help but wonder if I had something to do with it.

Do you like the red seat material or no?

i like the two tone seats , they are pretty awesome

here is a pic of the truck , more to come tonight

Hey, let the man get a little separation time before you jump on it like that. Besides unless he buys it back from insurence he'll probly never see it again. Thats as bad as when we got our car stolen at the begaining of dec. cops found it a day later they kept for almost a week and when they called for us to come and get it they said we needed to pay $95 for the tow fee. We got home there was an eviction notice on our door saying we needed to show up to court for lack of payin rent, turns out it was for our neighbor just addressed wrong. Talk about rubbing salt in the wounds.

the plan is to buy it back , strip my 2000 to bare frame , sandblast and paint the 2000 frame , the swap everything useable off the 2003 onto the 2000 frame , so basically everything , gonna be a long time comin though

 

[Boggin]

sounds like a good project!

[WNY964x4]
