Sweet Ride! Love the paint scheme, makes the lines look clean. How do you pull out to the street without scraping?

Why did you wait 2 years?

The motor blew up the day I bought it...so i've rebuilt a motor, rebuilt the air system, rewired the truck, and a ton of small things in between

what size motor did you end up rebuilding and putting in? Same as stock?

Could you do this with a lifted truck to bring it down to easy get in get out height and then put it back to lifted height?

Yes, there are lot of HUGE trucks that use air suspension to raise and lower ride height. Some bags are capable of nearly 24" of lift.

I rebuilt a stock 2.9 in my basement to replace the motor that was in it...while something off the wall would have been fun, or even a simple 5.0, it's way more work than I wanted to get in to.

I really couldnt imagine what a mildly modded v8 would be like in a first gen ranger, probably alot of fun

Here's a 92 with a carb'd 302 and a pretty big lift

I'm guessing by the color of your dash you have the porno red interior like the truck in the above link?

nope...my 88 had the ugly red interior.

the interior in this is smoothed and painted the same red as the outside.
