I have an 85 ranger i am starting a project on soon.
My ol' man parked it a few year ago and since than it has been a doner truck for his ranger and my brocnoII..

So here are a few q's

Engin swap? I need more power..I was thinkin a 2.3 turbo coup engin? or something..

Lift kit/axles.I want to put a small body lift on right now to throw some 33's but later down the road I want to SAS it..what is the best way to do that? leafts coilovers or what?

body Cab and doghouse is fine but the bed is a bucket of bond I was wornding if a 96 bed would bolt up? I also want some tube door could i use the stock striker and hinges pluse I would need to be able to put the factory doors back on for the winter time..

Thank's

You're gonna want more motor than a 4 cylinder.

What tire size do you plan on running? That determines your axles. Pick axles that are strong enough for how much tire you want to run, so you only have to swap them once. Or twice.

A body lift isn't gonna fit 33s on it without significant sheet metal trimming.

a 96 bed would probably bolt up by why waste money on new sheet metal for a wheeler... on a bed that doesn't match your body lines no less. Get some tube and make a flat bed.

LOL...Sorry about the spelling. I was in a herry.

But would an stock axles out of an older model ford be strong enuff?

are you a fucken idiot. there is a reason why there arent any of these trucks anywhere on any of these threads. they arent worth building there arent any power engines out there that fit. and no axles with fit under it.













































why dont you try seaching through some of the forum dumbshit. and stop asking stupid fucking ?'s. there are plenty of build ups like this already.
