Re: new guy
Welcome for sure! Looked at your profile and you're still a young kid compared to some. You need those pictures posted, just send them to me and I can knock them down to size. Like everone has said, good friendly site with a lot of good info. Just some good fun at times. Think there is at least one down near you.

Re: new guy
a little about my Ranger; 302 w.290/310 Motorsports cam, weiand and edelbrock, tri y headers w/ 3" flowmasters, 8" narrowed to 48" w/29x12.50 and coil overs, mustang II w/ coil overs and tubular lowers, relocated gas tank and battery, bucket seats. Most of these parts were left overs from other projects. New money in the shocks. The truck was given to me by an old friend.

Re: new guy
Sounds really interesting, now we really need some pictures. How'd that narrowed rear end fit in? That 48" is measured how, flange to flange or wheel mounting surface?

Re: new guy
The rear end is mounting flange to flange, pictures will come when its cleaned up. The rear fits close, I wish I had rotated my caliper to the 3 o'clock position. That would have given a lot more clearance. I am going to have a little problem with wheels, the rear was cut for an MG midget project and I left it four lug. 15X 10 wheels w/ 4 lug have too much back space. Ive got several options and will get it all sorted out. Trying to find my coil over wrench to set the front ride height, jesus if its not one thing it's another. I've got a SS-396 to wire and the TVR needs brake lines replaced(rear braided steel).
