Trucks Of The Month

This
1997 Ford Ranger owned by 'Uncle Fester' is a beautiful example of a
customized truck. Don't think this is another mini truck that was
purchased used and given a new life. The owner bought this truck new in
1997, took it home, and started taking it apart. The truck became a
14-year project as the owner went to great detail to customize the body,
engine / drivetrain, and interior. Being inexperienced, the build became a
learning experience that lead to many friendships along the way.
The
beautiful and meticulous paint job was done by Jamie
Cummins of 'If Its Got Wheels'. The Ranger is actually a rolling
piece of art, and would look just as beautiful framed on someone's wall,
as it would at a show.
The
Ranger received a suspension and body drop, custom body work, custom
interior, and the V8 drivetrain from a 1991 Ford Mustang. The Ranger
actually had the Mustangs floor pan welded in when the body drop was done.
Fester's
brother Jason helped with with the stereo setup. Unfortunately, he lost
his brother to leukemia. Fester had a picture of his brother painted on
the dash as a tribute. He kept his promise to his brother that he would be
his passenger for life.
