Pic will be up by tonight but hers how it starts i bought a 1989 ranger rust free clean truck from original owner i drove truck 7 miles and it threw a rod so i traded the truck to a buddy or a 94 toyota single cab shorted 4banger (22re)/5 speed and when i got truck i cleaned interior a little i was only planning on using truck for a month or 2 to save for a down payment on a new truck but 3 days into driving i broke down 4 times for the efi fuse kept blowing traced it to short the oxygen sensor wire melted on exhaust fixed that problem next day truck started having like a scraping metal sound very hard to describe had no power only would go 10 try making it a half mile home and a coolant hose under intake manifold blew and truck locked up i stopped soon as it blew.. and now come fun part truck starts but sounds very bad something in motor is internally bad . well I've decided to build it it will be a slow build but this weekend bed comes off and then cab stripping frame and then sandblasting suspension components and painting and throwing it al back together may make a body lift and then either rebuild my current motor or buy a used one freshen it up and throw it in.. pics are to come now once i figure how to post.

if anyone was wondering there some background info on me I'm a die hard ford guy and waned to try the yota thing out lol but thats a build of a 1996 ford bronco i did and yes i regret everyday trading that truck

 

phase 1

remove body and bed
strip and paint frame
replace any weird wiring i see
and either rebuild or find a new motor for my truck
and get on road and reliable

phase 2

stinger front bumper with winch
rear bumper
wheels and tires 35s and cragar soft 8s
rock sliders

phase 3

solid axle swap(not sure what axles i want to use but i want to be leaf sprung)
suspension lift and 37s
locker

phase 4
diesel swap ( more then likely 4bt)

 

Bed off

 

 

Frame is perfect not even pitting anywhere

 

Bench seat, kicker panela,rocker trim,and carpet out and cab is unbolted ,, all thats left is wiring harness on motor

 

Not a bad looking reg cab. Nice that the frame is in good shape. I think you have a great base there to work with. I love my fords as well but the Toyota addiction comes on pretty hard. Next thing you know you will be buying two more to tinker with. Haha.

Welcome to YT

 

Looks great! My frame sucks compared to yours. Take a look,
