[IMG] Selling my unfinished 51/52 Ford pickup project. The evolution of the project can be seen here....
The S10 is a bit wide at the front of the frame, but that can be worked out. I've got mine on an Explorer frame and it works well because of the...
Oneshot - great looking truck, but it's not a 48 through 52 so it's sortof in the wrong post. Great work though !
Nice. I have no idea how you remember to take pictures as you go along. I always look up and it's too late. You get anything done over...
Aren't you glad I talked you out of those 90's caddy jobs you were thinking about ?!
Almost all of them. I have a perfect RUST FREE one. i will never let it go or cut it. The other one I have is rusted in the usual places.. a good...
Sorry all, didn't mean to double up on the post.
So I made it to the Drive INvasion, but only for Sunday and a lotof the cars were only there Saturday - Anyone got pics ? Ether ?
Cool ! Thanks for the info. I'll try and track a copy - shame it won't have the girl in it !
There are three trains of though with this. Personally I am trying to use the complete Explorer wiring in it's entirety, but I like factory wiring...
This project never got off the ground, the guy realized how hard it was going to be and dropped off the face of the earth. He tried to sell me...
Abomination, did it occur to you that if I wanted people being directed straight to that picture page i would have posted the link myself ?
Chopd, Gen 2 - 1995 through 2001 (Explorer) and 1998 and up (torsion bar Ranger) are roughly the same chassis, and these are the straight rear...
I originally was going to do that with mine but the explorers have a large gap between the floor and the chassis. I am still thinking about using...
Finally someone else who's noticed how good this chassis is ! I have two sets of spindles and suspension arms, both 2wd and AWD. Mine is a V8 AWD...
That sounds like an 2wd thing, also the 2 door sport Explorer from 95 to 01 had mono leafs like that, perhaps it'd been converted ? The 4x4 1993...
I just cheat and look for the external EGR port. Also the GT40-P's have a 'P' cast into the front of them.
Since I've got a 2000 Explorer Chassis in the garage and a 99 4x4 Ranger in the driveway, I can measure whatever you need. The best one to use,...
Yes, but I wasn't trying to be down on you, I just want people who're interested like yourself to stay and contribute, but at the same time not...
Which is what I am doing... but please lets not let this degenerate into yet another 'what is traditional ?' thread. Some of us find the info...
I can measure the chassis I have if you'd like, see if it'd be suitable. I think though that it might sit too high, they (explorer chassis) are...
Bronco II's are close to bolt on, but the F150 would be too big I think.
One thing to remember when picking an axle is that the Ranger have spring over axle, Explorers have axle over spring, so it's easier to get them...
Pretty much the same as an Explorer, and I remember seeing those before i moved over here.
V8 into ranger is incredibly easy if you use a 1998 and up (torsion bar) chassis - since it's the same as the 95 and up explorer which came with a...
Wider than a 1995 - 2001 Explorer (98 and up ranger with torsion bars) not wider than an S10. I knowvery little about S10's...
These are Gen 3 chassis, from 2001 up, they have IRS and the frame shape is significantly different. They use all aluminium suspension arms on the...
Good point, should have known the Super Cabs were longer since I have one !
Done, scroll back up to my first post this thread. I can take pictures of any part of the chassis someone wants to see, as well as any part of how...
True, pre 1992 Ranger use an older chassis which is not as suitable. 1992 thru 1997 use the same chassis as a first generation Explorer, which...
