Finally getting the Ranger body on the chassis

Got some rain today, so started finishing up the little stuff on the truck. Filled fluids in the axles and trans, and fired it up . Glad to hear it fire up again after it's winter nap.

No Video, no proof! LOL

Glad to hear your ready to rock.

Schmitty u need to bring that truck over my way and do some racing over here!!

I'd love to come out there and race Eric, but my farming schedule doesn't permit much travel in the summer. Maybe some day though

If Rob made a trip to Paulding I'd have to go watch

Mike Theirs a pretty good race over in your neck of the woods.

Probably still too far for Rob!
Eric I haven't followed the mud racing scene much since I went to asphalt.
Where's it at?

[quote="schmitty"]Got some more work done

Framework built and bedsides hung

What are you using to plug your headders?

They are a test plug that plumbers use to test PVC drain pipe. These are for 4" pipe, but I turned the gasket over and they work in my 4.5" collectors.

I need to get some of those!

Have you weighed it, how's it compair to the full size?

No, I haven't weighed it, but knowing what similar trucks weigh, I'd guess about 3600.

Bump for Al

Looking good Rob, Thanks.

looks pretty good!!!

Any new pics..... or just a update

hey schmitty how much travel are those front coil overs you're using? just picked up some 7 inch stroke ones was wondering if they would work for fronts

Mine are 7" and seem to do fine.

Sweet that's what I wanted to hear!!!!

how heavy of front springs did you end up using??

Not real sure, but I think 200# per inch.
