whats with the gap between the cab and bed?

 

[Ryanohn]

Well the ranger wheel base is 114 and the f250 wheel base is 133. So there's kinda a gap but im guna put a tire holder and chain holder

Interesting project. I'm kind of surprised the left front tire is holding air. Reminds me of a co worker that had a really bad comb over hairdo...

 

[Ryanohn]

Well that tire hold air the best sadly compared to the rest of them

you're not going to shorten the frame?

 

[Ryanohn]

I was thinking about it. But I might put a tool box in there

Would be a sweet spot for two spares, toolbox, giant fuel tank, etc. neat project. I wonder how much she will weigh

 

[Ryanohn]

I'm guessing in 5-6k pound range

WOOOO GL4x4! Finding a divorced 205 or 203 for a doubler is harder than you think. I believe in parts for sale on Gl4x4 is a divorced 205 but I can't remember if it is a Chevy or Ford case. Looks like it will be a pretty nice wheeler when it is all said and done.
