Chris Maurer's 1989 Ford Ranger |
|
This 1989 Ford Ranger is owned by Chris Maurer of Albuquerque, New Mexico. It features a front suspension from a Toyota, and uses air bags with custom mounts. The factory frame rails were replaced with 2x4-inch tubing, and allows the cab to sit 6-inches closer to the ground. The rear suspension is a custom 4-link with Firestone air bags. The fuel cell and air tanks are tucked under the bed out of sight. Chris shaved the emblems, mirrors, gas door, handles, and the inside of the bed smooth. He also molded the license plate into the tailgate. The cab was treated to a Toyota Corolla dash, custom center console, and Hyundai bucket seats. The truck is powered by a 350ci V-8 Chevy motor, backed by a TH350 transmission, and rides on 20-inch Centerline wheels. For specific details, check the list below the following photos:
