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![Lame :lame: :lame:](http://www.therangerstation.com/forums/images/smilies/trs_smilies_signs/lame.gif)
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.![Bawling :bawling: :bawling:](http://www.therangerstation.com/forums/images/smilies/bawling.gif)
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!
