OK, I'll break the seal of this forum by posting some pics of my '86 Ranger...

Wow... more than one nice truck in your corral, I see!

 

[Blue Goose]

I was going through a bunch of old pictures today and thought I'd re-visit this thread with a more complete pictorial history...

Here it is as we started on the 6" Rugged Trail lift...

Front done

TRAITOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[slmann]

wow, what a difference that made. Like two different trucks.

Is that the infamous garage and boat I've heard of in those pics?

Then the accident. At 1:30 A.M. on I-70 in front of the airport, I got rear ended while I was going 70mph. I laid the truck over on it's right side and slid clear across the Cypress road bridge, coming to a stop facing traffic. The fellow that hit me was on his roof behind me.

Here I am, the next day getting my truck out of the towing yard.

Me looking to see if anybody took anything out of my toolbox.

^^So did it still start, even on Chevy juice?

Or are you tryin' to jumpstart that K-10?

 

[Blue Goose]

The towing co. left the lights on on the truck, so the battery was dead. And yes, I drove it home after we put the original tires and wheels back on it.

That Chevy belonged to a Buddy of mine that helped me with the lift.

I ordered an '89 F150 and sold the Ranger.

I'm remembering a phone conversation we had a while ago...

You pulled that boat from Missouri to Michigan, with that truck?


Wow.

Wow.

Yes sir. That boat and trailer weigh 4,000 lb. ish. It had 4:10 gears and an automatic.
