This came back on Craigslist again kinda near me, it'd be a interesting project that's almost done looking! Maybe someone interested. https://bend.craigslist.org/cto/d/1996-ford-ranger-on-44s-73/6289954300.html

those 1/2 ton axles wouldn't last long , even a N/A 7.3 could destroy them on 44s.

cool truck regardless.

Yeah it definatly would need some upgrades to off road much but a 7.3 in a lightweight ranger would be a fun truck to drive around, probably not very useful but the thought is cool lol

it says something about the area you live in when you have to put in your ad "Will not trade for drugs"

west coast weed.
thats prob how this guy ended up with the truck in the first place

buyer: How much do you want for your truck?
seller: $2500
buyer: I'll give you a nickel bag....
Seller: SOLD!!!!!!!!!!

Power notwithstanding, even the WEIGHT of a 7.3 IDI would be too much for the half-ton suspension, not to mention a Ranger frame. And is it just me, or do those blocks look like widowmakers?

Sad but true a good 1/3 of things in Craigslist around here say trade for weed It looks like they might have done some stuff to the frame up front, the whole idea is neat has been but poorly excitcuted . it maybe drive around town and look fun but any off road and it'd probably fall apart lol

I knew a guy who used to talk about putting a first gen PSD in his Ranger. I just told him that it would be ok until the first time he hammered on it. Then his frame would have a permanent twist!
