Project Black Betty // Sas, v8!

[MaGiKaLsHoTs]

got my front end all together, cept for the tie rods but they dont fit the the spare rims i have lol

(in this pic they are on but the wheels dont turn haha so i took them off to move it around quick)

 

[MaGiKaLsHoTs]

here is some more front end pics

this is the one with the rims im using cause the spare set didnt clear the tie rods

here is the clearence between the tierods and rim and the caliper and rim

 

[MaGiKaLsHoTs]

well im almost to the final steps of mounting the front end here it is just with the frame sitting on it

yeah i saw ur thread on that.. sounds like it will be sweet.. thats what im planning on doing with my 2001 ranger once the motor blows in it (has a leaky head gasket)

 

[MaGiKaLsHoTs]

got a lil more progress done today, got the steering box on and bolted up to the tie rods.. although im gonna need to do somthing about it cause its way to angled.. and i set the coils in the buckets better

you should look into cross over steering or use the factory steering off the truck you got the axle from, I wouldn't think that set up would very well.

 

[MaGiKaLsHoTs]

yeh i dont know the exact name of the steering i want.. i think u named it being the crossover .. were theres a solid tierod going from knuckle to knuckle then a seperate one going to the pitman arm thats what im aiming for...


and that is the steering off the truck the axles came from lol and the steering box.. they all came off a 88 BII i bought for $250

What coils springs and what coil buckets are you using?? I like the color scheme your going with...Did you think about running hydro assist??

[MaGiKaLsHoTs]

the coil springs i BELIEVE are 6" lift EB coils and im using the stock ranger buckets.. and yeah i thought about it but i think im just gonna go with the solid bar running straight across each knuckle and then the one going to the pitman arm

 

[MaGiKaLsHoTs]

got some new parts for the 94 (red truck) whole front clip, bumper doors, hood and fenders are going on it..

there is NO rust on these new parts or dents.. and on the rest of the cab there is NO rust or dents so my 94 will have a mint body on it soon..

 

[Kyle M.]

Lookin good!

 

[MaGiKaLsHoTs]

yeh pretty much now.. time to put the project in storage and work on my DD's.. my 01 needs a new windshield and balljoints and the 94 is getting a complete front end rebuilt

 

[MaGiKaLsHoTs]

did somthing today.. was bored so i decided to pull the oil pan on the 302 and clean it out.. so did that everything looks good and it turns nice.. so put that back together and the carb convertion begins
