We will start off with the exterior of this Ranger. The body on it
is all rock solid and we can see that the fit of all the panels is
stunning. Down the sides are straight and all the body lines flow
beautifully from front to rear. All the gaps are even and
symmetrical and you'll notice all the glass is in excellent
condition along with the weather stripping and seals. It sports a
ton of trim and chrome with all of it having a brilliant shine. All
the side trim looks amazing along with both bumpers and the grill.
It's all a beautiful accent to the two-tone color scheme. The Black
and Silver paint has been polished to a mirror finish and does an
excellent job of showing off the body. Inside the bed is all rock
solid and is also done in the Black paint. To finish off the
exterior it's sitting on the 15" Mickey Thompson Wheels with
33x12.50 Tires.
Next, we will look at the interior of the Truck. On the inside it's
done in the Black color scheme that flows perfectly with the
exterior. It features the cloth bench seat that is in excellent
condition. We can also see that the door panels are done in black
and are also in great condition. New carpet has been installed and
we can also see the custom headliner with overhead console and
speakers. Looking at the dash you'll notice the new steering wheel
that's done in white to match the tach and under dash gauges. The
dash is in phenomenal condition and has the woodgrain accents to go
along with the gray accents around the gauges. This is four speed
truck that has the custom shifter and it also has the floor shift
for the Four Wheel Drive.
Finally, we will look at the driveline of the Ford. Under the hood
everything has a gorgeous detail with the firewall and inner
fenders being solid. The power comes from the 460 Engine that's
detailed in the Red with red plug wires and booster. Its set up
with the Aluminum Intake and Holley Carb along with having polished
chrome valve covers and the Ball Milled Air Cleaner and Plug Wire
Looms. This truck comes with Power Steering with skyliner shock
assist along with Power Brakes and Disc on all four corners. The
460 runs through the Four Speed Trans and the NP 205 transfer case
feeds the 9" Rear and Danna 44 up front. When you look under this
truck, you're sure to notice the eye to detail done when this truck
was frame off restored. To start the frame was detailed in red
along with the transmission, transfer case, gas tank, and
four-wheel disc brakes. All new fuel and brake lines were
installed. But it gets impressive when you see all the chrome work
from the driveshafts, to the sway bars and inspection covers. This
was very thoroughly built truck from bottom to top. Up front new
ball joints and bushings were installed, and we can see that it has
the Dual Shocks along with new springs. Out back it has the leaf
springs with new shocks as well. On the highway this truck runs out
phenomenal and is a blast to cruise.
