Hello all! Excited to find this forum. I'm just starting a new truck build. I'm putting a 1954 F100 on a 1986 Ranger 4x4 with a 302 V8. I'm planning to use this as a DAILY DRIVER!

The Ranger came out of WV - was a mud truck. I'm taking out all the lift, and am getting ready to fit the cab.

The 302 conversion was already completed when I picked up the Ranger.

Couple of problems: rear axle is a welded locker, so looking for an 8.8 with disc brakes. The front axle pivot brackets are completely missing, searching for stock height brackets.

Pictures later.
