jakesgmc's 1986 Ford Ranger


My Big Ranger
This is my Ranger, I picked up for $1,000.00. I had to pay $50 for a flatbed towtruck to get it home, as the clutch was so far gone, it was immobile. I guess a 2.9 trying to turn 33's with 3.45 gears, you can't really blame it. clutch took me from midnight till 5am one night and I had it going. The cab was the next thing. It was so far gone, the cab was just about resting on the nerf bars. A $350 Ranger that had a front end collision was the perfect donor for a cab and later both axles(as they are 4.10 in the donor truck), and a spare trans, xfer case, 2.9L motor, rust free box, and other little things. A new radiator support was needed for the new cab because of the accident, and the new cab is a 1990, and because I wanted to keep my old style front end. This new cab gave me the newer interior and a factory tach, a split bench seat, and the obvious complete floor.
