this is my 1987 ford ranger. iam putting four link on the rear and it has a 350 chevy sbc.
it also is sitting on a 1986 chevy k5 frame.
looks dumb, just messin with ya jared, but if u need help dont call me, lol its commin together
cool!, I happen to think all the best Fords have Chevy parts...the more the better ;)
best way to be "ford tough" is with chevy stuff!!
thats what iam sayin.
Yup, comin right along, just keep addin those chevy parts and youll be fine ==jk loll
iam thinkin bout puttin hydralic steering on it to. the rear in the process of getting four link. the fronts just getting tower blocks for now. the reg. tbi 350 was suppose to be running but was lied to. so hopefully this weekend iam getting a old carbed 350
just turn the one you got into a carbed motor man
needs an intake to go from tbi to carburated and its different intake that the standard carburated engine and a new one is expensive he can buy a ready to go engine for cheaper i know where one is, that and the motor thats in is locked up
spring for the ranger. their off of the original ranfer frame.
Ranger! sorry
mocl up
Brackets four the four link are made and now just gotta get my 12 bolt. so i can finish welding it up. then it will start looking like something.
progress on my four link
little bit closer to havin my four link done. couple more pieces of tubing to cut and weld it up.
finally looking like a real truck
looking good
thanks man.
little bit farther. gotta weld the bracket solid now
applaudd
Well got the rear end done. Now on to the front. I dont know if I want to go with arched leafs or just make longer shackel brackets and ideas?
jared i know we are friends and co workers and i have been coachin u on ur 4 link but u should change the name from night ranger to rump ranger, just a thought it will fit u more that way
Nice Project!
thanks man. before i start the front lift i got to finish my front clip. its gonna be all one piece. being that i have a six inch body lift on top of it. it will be easier to have the whole front clip tilt foward so its easier to get to the motor.
got my front clip done. should be doin the front lift but it was a spurr of the moment thing.
looks good i like the tilt front end
my newest toy. 1987 yota. 22r motor, 33 inch tires. full outside roll cage.

hopefully. its getting a bath tomorrow then the motors goin in.
motors almost in the yota. roll cage is all painted. allis challmers orange. and i got the whole frame and body painted flat black. now the motor can go in. ill be posting pics of it soon.
just picked up some super swamper SX 35x15.5x15 for the yota. and got a another whole set of gumbo 35's for it as well.
.
all it needs is drive shafts and wiring.
is that how ya make it run cooler with ya ol ladys thong in the thermo stat housing in stead of a thermostat lmao jokin
yeah thats what the new generation does haha
.
i had this s-15 jimmy grill laying around. and the yota didnt have one so i thought what the hell add some more general motors products to it haha
i didnt think your boyfriend wore those kind of underwear. Looking good other then that.
Cool truck applaudd

haha very funny. for one those arent underwear. its a shirt thats cut up. just so stuff dont get in the neck.
well got the drive shafts all done. just need new u-joint clips to keep it up in the yoke
shafts are all in and now just found out my 35's have sh*t beads and wont seal. so thats a bummer. but thats the last thing on the list.
motors ready to fire now. going to get my heater hose for the radiator tomorrow.and gotta hook up my power steering lines. border lining finished. cant wait to see what this ole girl can do.
Bout time git it done plannin on going to bundy hill sunday
well iam trying but my hunting interupts my progress
Got my radiator hose all on the yota. power steering lines are in line for tomorrow. hopefully beable to start it this weekend.
high pressure power steering line...
I just cut the end off the stock chevy line. Then replaced the fitting with the toyota fitting and reflared it. It worked great...
yeah thats what i think iam gonna do to. but i wasnt sure if i could just run new hose. if i could just use some heavy duty hose clamps. i got some hydraulic hose thought bou using that.
You can use clamps on the low pressure side. My chevy pump had to much pressure on the high pressure side to use clamps on it. I looked for adapter line and they were way over priced. So I just used the yota fitting on the chevy line.
I used a surpetine set up from a 1988 chevy w/t ext cab 4x4. It doesnt have a/c or an air pump and it only has a 4 groove belt.
yeah thats probly what iam gonna have to end up doing. i have a entire set up for surpentine off my 88 sbc. i wasnt sure if it would fit thought.
got my new swampers. been stored in a guys barn for almost 20yrs. and u cant beat free hah
got two tires on
you gunna have this piece of p00 ready too go to bundy hill on the 10th?

my junk is ready to go.
Yeah but its good junk
my junk is almost done. got it half ass starting. think the fuel pump is bad. but we did have it kinda running so thats a good sign.
fuel pump is goin on this weekend and lets see if we can get it goin. just waiting on Erik to mount my other two super swampers.
got my fuel pump. tonight hopefully hook it up and lets see what happens.
got the truck running after changing a few things. getting a set of headers for it cuz it sound goofy with just open manifolds. hopefully get to drive it around tomorrow.
well the headers i got dont fit either. i tried car and truck sbc headers. tomorrow iam ordering a set of block huggers and hopefully they will fit. still gotta drill my holes for the tranny brace. i had the radiator all hooked up but today found my s10 has a leak so i gotta use that one. luckly i got a few spare that will fit in its spot. erik finnally got my other two tires mounted. id say a good weekend and it should be driving around.
all matching tires
nice tires!
the truck looks good! keep up the good work!!

nice tires!
the rears 20 years old and 100% tread the fronts are used but still good, hes lookin for 40's to do some mud boggin with it
now who says i wanna do mud boggin? hah
i do dont be a pud run the mud
just shy of being complete
awesome!! wish u lived close to me i would like a cage like that lol or even a sweet brush guard made lol
thanks man. i think the cage is cool. someone put alot of time in it. gotta make some plates to bolt to the frame for the front.
i think iam gonna soon after its goin good and doesnt break go head and go with some different axels so i can run some 44". getting a good deal on some. so why not. one of them are a little low on tred but thats what they make tire groovers for!
Nice idea looks good
this weekend is dedicated to getting the truck done. its so close. just finding the time and energy to get it done.
That cage is sick!
i robbed my four link off my ranger. i think it suits the yota better
got all the brackets made. just welding and throwing in my spring. then when its done. ill take the leafs off. so everthing stays in place.
another day of welding and the suspension is done. until i do the front in the future.
nice!
bars shortened up
well after trying different headers. i think iam going with these. its such a tight fit. reg. headers won't fit
sweet!
nice headers!
Quote from: betterbeaters on March 03, 2012, 02:37:26 AM
nice headers!
the only thing that will fit is boat manifolds. which look goofy. i might run them for now until i get my income tax to buy these
been a while sense ive updated. iam ordering my headers this weekend for the yota. four link is all done. turned out sweet. i ended up shortening all the bars. now ive decided to return do finishing out my ranger that i started last yr. me and my buddy are goin in as parteners on it. we got a semi built 305. nothin special but it runs good. we're gonna bring the axle real close to the back of the cab. and put the 44'' that iam getting on that. not sure if we're gonna shorten the box. probly not. the only thing i still gotta get is a tranny and t-case and is ready to start building. iam just goin with my old toyota leafs.
kinda what its gonna look like
Dude that 'Yota is Fu*kin' ILL !!!!!!!
my new set up. 1984 omc boat manifolds.
radiator is mounted with my fan on it now. tomorrow putting my new manifold bolts on. hopefully get to start it again. after that its just going over everthing again to check it out. and hook my shift cable up
.
got the tranny brace all done. boat manifolds didnt end up working. i made some custom ones that come out my fenders. now on to make my linkage for my shifter and it will be ready to lock n load. started it up last week. sound awsome. after i replaced the cap. it had a huge crack down it. and made it run ruff
.
i se a rubber truck bed liner. worked out pretty good.
finally all done. got to drive it around the yard today. now ready for our local bog in a few weeks. then if it holds up, should be goin to the next parma bog
looks good!
new look
