Project: Found On Road Dead!

[GODFATHER]

Yes after I got her home from Kenny she fell flat on her face woundt even start. But after qute a few days I followed the CPU fuse blowing problem to the (sorry if I piss anyone off) shitty tail light wiring LOL! Had a hot going to ground where wires were rubbing but it took almost 2 weeks to follow down and figure out.

Anywho not too sure who all has had her but yall know her so here ya go. Body Drop is in the future not sure when I will start but it should be soon as I get the garage cleared out a little more. Had a few deaths in the family in the past 6months so the garage is still cluttered with stuff from other houses but I hope to start in the next month or so.





Plan for now and probably not changing is red stock wheels with these sweet little 57 Ford Hubcaps as theres about 1/2" of rim that still shows with the caps on the wheels and some Fat AZZ white wall tires.





Well thats it for now but be prepared! I was thinking S10 or another Mazda but hell you dont see these very often so what the hell right?

Thanks Guys!

I dunno you tell me this is exactly how I got it lol!

Man. It won't go to shit that's for sure! Just ask Stan his silver Mazda I did looked like complete shit when I got it and he had it in show coverage in minitruckin within a month of having it and that was without the wheels. So I hope I can one up myself on even that truck but that'll be a chore for sure!

[Brill]

Sweet!!

Rangers are gay btw

[BAGD94RNGR]

You going with a step-bed or stocker? That will be badass when its done.

[GODFATHER]

I gotta have a stepside/fleetside!!!!

[thenapperfamily]

He wanted to trade swampdonkey for the tracker bad said he had a bed but was a ways away. Good luck with it can't wait to see more always liked rangers

[okndnx]

Nice truck love the hubcaps

[BlAzIn98DiMe]

wheres the progress??

[GODFATHER]

Still waiting on a damn bed too bad im a picky fucker or I'd just get a regular bed. Im looking for a stepside hell I would take an old ford stepside bed I could cut and section it to fit....

[GODFATHER]

I polished up the grill that they just had painted black LOL....



Painted one wheel red to see how I like it, Planning on some fat white wall tires....

[BlAzIn98DiMe]

I dont really care about the dirt on the dash right now LOL. Ill take care of that when I get there.

Hey did you put these headlights in? I havent looked very closely at it yet but the drivers side is just laying in there didnt know if the mounts were broken or just missing but like I said I havent torn that part away to see whats up with it yet.

If I end up keeping it im going to strip it all the way down and get rid of a bunch of the wiring that doesnt need to be in there anymore like the air bag shit thats no longer needed and totally unhooked.

I did a lot of maintance last weekend and now its not running either? It runs at idle jus fine and if your taking off its great but if you try to keep it at a constant speed it surges like it has a plug not working? So I have looked it all over and cant figure that part out. Had to fix some wiring issues at the back a few weeks ago that caused it to not run at all LOL. This thing just needs stripped and redone but it would also be fine as is with a bed. I want the stepside bed back it looks amazing with that bed. I have that one in Salina picked out but the guy hasnt ever sent me any pictures on it yet?

[BlAzIn98DiMe]

i didnt put the lights in it they came with i never looked but think the bracket is broke could be wrong tho. thats weird man it was a good truck wen i had it ran and drove awesome and super loud lol neighbors hated me with that. wish i knew wat was wrong with it so i could help it did cut out alot wen i first got it bcus the o2 sensor was wraped around the exhaust. but un wraped it and it ran great ever since. might try changing the spark plugs and wires also.

[BlAzIn98DiMe]

i think a wide bed would be better than the step side only bcus u cant lay out with stepside bed it hits the wheels thats 17 the back had rubber band tires on the 17s (still hit but was close enough) btw can run rims up front with out spacers blows the bags cus it rubs. should be able to lay 20s with a wide bed.

I sold some bags to a kid that had this truck. He lived off shields I think is what he said. Seen it running around up on 16th and Rockwell for awhile then it disappeared.... Now I know where it is LOL !!
What motor ?

[GODFATHER]

It has the 4cyl with the 8 spark plugs. Now that I think of it I did move around an old O2 sensor? Maybe I messed something up there because it ran fine before that. It has new plugs and wires Kenny put those on. But you might be on to something with the O2 sensor....

[GODFATHER]

Oh and I'm running the stock 14" tires and wheels and don't plan on changing that as I want fat whitewall tires.

thatd be the guy i trade for a 96 hatchback but he had title issuses that he didnt wanna fix so we traded back. then i traded it for a clean ass bmw sold the bmw for 4000 and bought my blazer and had cash left over.

[BlAzIn98DiMe]

bet it is the o2 sensor then... ill get more int pics wen i had it forgot the sd card in the camera at the house. but it used to have red seats to match the dash and flame gauges.

[GODFATHER]

Well it has a brand new O2 sensor so that's not it it's going to my uncles shop on Monday he'll hook it up to the computer and have it figured out. I can do almost anything but I'm lost on this one lol!
