Well it's official, I now have a V8 Ranger. I lost my build tread, and I'm just too lazy to find it right now, but this truck started life with a leaky 2.3 4 banger that had to fall out of a tree to get going, and it had a 5 speed. HERE IS MY OLD TREAD from when I first started this mess...

My friend has a buffing wheel on a bench grinder that looks like a stone grinding wheel, but it's soft and made for polishing, and for the life of me I can't find anything online about the wheel, of course I don't know what the wheel is called. SO if anyone has seen this kind of polishing...
