Gave the new winter beater some TLC. Rad hoses, PS hoses, 99-00 tails, clear corners, and fresh rubber.

Thanks to all the EuroVans running around you can get Ranger sized 8 ply tires

Also snagged some 17x8s and 215s for the V8 truck. I hate black wheels, but they were dirt cheap and like new. I mostly just wanted to see how they fit. Turns out…they fit great so I’ll pull them off in the spring to strip and polish or have them coated in something lighter.

My shop help wasn’t much help. He is getting lazy in his old age.

Its probably better to be self deprecating than self defecating.

Dream beams with Splash coils (probably 250k on the coils lol). Rear is sprung under with 250k+ mile Explorer leaves.

The 5.0 dropped the front 3/4” or so from where it sat with the 2.3, I think there are some older photos of it before the swap in this thread somewhere.
