About my Ranger

october issue of off-road,(readers rides)page 19
yea baby!!
88 ford ranger, sb350chevy,turbo400, fully welded 8.8 rearend, i've spent a lot of time fabricating on this truck and  man was it worth it!

I raced class 8 in score for an older guy that had a nice 70's chevy bb step side, but we were constantly broke down because he had some wild ideas about duct tape and silicone! (fixes anything he says) after about 2 years of this, I decided to build something low budget does not mean low performance or low durability! I spent a total of $1500.00 building this truck, getting every thing I could from ebay or summit.
the wrecking yard was a wise choice for some parts as well as falling onto some steel headed for the recycle bin! long travel is achievable for little to no money if you put your mind to it, have a strong back, some basic metal fab tools, and a wife that does'nt mind you being in the garage for hours on end!

hope you enjoy my blood sweat and tears!
