    thanks man, I know I should have done it a long while ago I just wasn't sure about doing it myself because I knew that if I fucked up its a pretty major fuck up, i'm just glad I got it done

    so the c10 is gonna be gone by the end of next week, but I know its the right thing todo and I'm gonna go throw down some cash for that van on Monday at least a down payment, pretty stoked
    and I actually got some shit done

    before



    after







    I know I went lower than I said but when I had the coils out and everything I just couldn't help myself so I went a lil more than I said but so what. I know it needs spacers and all that but for now im just going to get it aligned then when I get more wheels that look worth a shit i'll worry about spacers and what not then. I should be doing the rear tomorrow, but if not I will next weekend. until then, enjoy!

At first I tough you had a 3slow in the truck but seems like you have the 4 cylinder.. Just build it for turbo and it will smoke a 4L v6 ranger at 5 psi or a 4.6 v8 with lil mods stang at only 10 psi..

    The only car that ever did destroy me was a brand new sick-ass gt500. Didn't really catch any other thing that wanted to race that was able to follow mine yet.

    302 are slows but would still be a nice low-budget and somewhat powerful swap.

    Listen to beluga, he is a black belt ranger-fu master.
    Thanks guys and it will be a while before I do anything to the engine so I have quite sometime to think about it. And I got some news wether its good or bad, I have a guy coming to check out the c10 because my dad has always wanted an old ass van and I have sorta lost interest in the c10, it's fun and everything it just takes up room in the driveway and makes me feel bad about myself by not working on it. So if everything goes to plan this dude is gonna get my ol' c10 and I'm gonna get my dad a Chevy van explorer edition. Btw I'm doing hooligan shit to the ranger tonight

    In this order
    -lowered 3"
    - v6 or v8 swap
    -try doing tint again
    -rest of the interior stuff (headliner, steering wheel, flooring, etc.)

    Lol trust me I probably won't have a choice but to let him , shit the first thing he said to me when I got the c10 home was "where's the keys?" But that old thing is practically his now anyway he has a set of keys to it and everything

    That's a mean ass looking bug

    You should let him drive the ranger when it's on the ground.
