Hello all. This is my first post. I was turned on to the site by the guy I bought my 84 reg. cab from yesterday.
A lil' about me. I live in Vancouver WA and am a long time bracket racing fan. The ranger is going to be my daily driver while I work on my 74 Plymouth Scamp drag car.
But me being the gearhead I am I refuse to drive a "economy" car on a daily basis. So I found this clean 84 reg. cab with a 302 and auto for $1800 on craigslist. I ended up buying it for $1300 and drove it home the 60 miles without a problem.
Has a 302 and auto from a 79 LTD
Perfomer 289 intake
Carter 600 CFM carb
Heddman conversion headers
2 1/4 duals to a flowmaster dual inlet muffler with single 2.5 tailpipe
Powermaster ministarter
Carter electric fuel pump
James duff conversion motor mounts
remote oil filter mount
7.5 rear
New BRITE white paint over so so bodywork
14 in Chrome steel american racing wheels with dinky P195/70R14 tires
Interior needs the most work.
Just got done bolting on a set of 2006 Mustang 16x7 alloy wheels with
P205/55R16 on front and P225/50R16 on rear. I did have to use some thin spacers on the front wheels to get the needed clearance without machining the wheel and used the same spacers on the rear because I had another pair.
Right now it runs alright, needs a good tune up, carb work and some dist. tuning. Should make for a fun daily street brawler.
Sorry about no pics tonight, but I will get plenty ASAP, I promise.
:EDIT: I ended up ditching the low pro 16's for some 215/60R16's I had laying around. And Pics as promised!
