Well I guess I will start a build thread, I have been hanging around here a bit and reading a lot of the other builds and there is a lot of awesome trucks on this site. Here is mine, I bought this 89 ranger already converted into a truggy and it has a SAS with leafs done I bought it just sitting on the leaf springs. It came with a ford 9 for rear out of a mustang so it is narrow and it has the 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern the rear end came with 5.14s and a spool the truck also came with a dana 30 out of a TJ but the spiders are sheared off, so I started looking for another front and found a jeep j10 dana 44 and put that under it temporarily and just yesterday we bought a 77 Ford f150 4x4 so now I have full width dana 44 and 9 in. The ranger currently has the stock 2.9 and I will see how it does and if it doesnt work like we want this f150 also has a 351 auto and transfercase that can be dropped in. I plan on making a few changes like another cab and a few other things but I will try to update and take pics as I go I have built several different 4x4s everything from yotas to 69 bronco and the latest is 73 ford half ton but this will be the first that I will take pics and post info on.
This is how it sits now
It had been raining I didnt want to take tarp off for pics
