Well, here it goes, the slow build up of my second ranger, a 1990 junkyard special i got for $500.. I am calling it super ranger NOT because it's the baddest thing ever to come to pirate (that's for damn sure,) moreover, it has lots of superduty parts and it's supercharged. It should be fun no less. I was gonna wait till i got further along, but, the board has been slow it seems, so enjoy or hate... :p

the idea was to use 5.0 exploder mounts originally, so trailerguy had a set for me to mock up with, when i got home and compared, they were almost identical, except two studs up top instead of one, sizing etc. was the same. so, fawk it, use what u got, of course these are mock up units, new ones before final assembly, possibly a torque strut also, i do want it to have some give..

i had those headers for years, bought them on a whim from a broke dude out of the trunk of his car, just thought i might use them "someday" turns out they were perfect!
whittled up a crossmember..

got the hydro boost setup in, basically a bolt in deal, had to r/r the mounting plate and redrill it for the stock ranger pattern, transfer the studs, and mod the pedal rod shorter, you can see the ori. holes in the pics, gravy....
