I was just looking at the pictures from the old build, is that all that a full lenth axel sticks out part the fenders?!?, if so then I still have a chance of putting a full lenth axel under the back of my little ranger

Pages 1-33 were on EB width axles or "narrow" axles. Page 34+ was all full width axles.

The rims are what really make the difference. You can get rims with 2" Backspacing that REALLY make the tire stick out past the fender or you can get up like 5" Back spacing and really tuck the tire back into the fender. Alot of guys with one tons will run an H2 rim which has alot of back spacing and it pulls the tire back in towards the body making not as wide. I personally like it wide....stability and the body is just that much further out of harms way.

my plan is to use a full lenth axel and then make a set of fender flairs to make it look like a duellly.

OH and by the by I like your build and feel sorry for that poor old tree but on the other hand that old tree does get to help in the building of your ride.

Yeah I am surprised that tree limb is still attached.

Looking things over this morning, the front two core support mounts line up with where I had the f250 core support (bonus), the front cab mounts just need the brackets moved and reattached to the frame and should work, and just need to fab up two mount brackets for the rear cab mounts and should be golden. Going out in a bit to get some supplies and taking the wife to lunch then back at it all day and hope to have the cab mounted, steering hooked up and get it pushed back into the garage to start the glorious elec war that will be my truck lol.

Well the ranger cab is on the frame and bolted on. Got the floor plate cut out to fit the tcase shifter. Haven't figured out yet if the radiator is gonna fit or?

 

[Robert_1967]

Well I have the dash and complete harness from the f250 and the HVAC unit (inside and out) and the steering column in the bronco. Then I also have the Dash and complete harness along with the steering column, and HVAC units from the ranger in the bronco. Guess what I am doing tomorrow.

Trying to install the f250 dash harness into the ranger's dash and make the ranger switch's etc work with the f250 wiring.

i almost missed this one. I like it alot so far.

 

[CheapThrillB2]

I think I got the wiring ready in the truggy's dash. Haven't actually plugged the cluster in yet, but when I turn the key on the fuel pump runs and it will crank Didn't try to actually start it yet since theres no trans cooler hooked up. But nothing smoked sizzled or burned so its a good start. Also got the front fenders on and the inner wheel wells along with most the engine harness put into place.
