  1. Sounds like an absolutely wicked spot @sar4x4! You dont get to take it with you so may as well enjoy everything now. We are feeling that 100 percent, and plan to enjoy everything we can. The end game is in a few years have the truck to pull the trailer and half the year up here the other half down south.

    That thing looks sick! Need more pics 🙂

    Can you put sides on it and use it as a dump truck for around the house type stuff (e.g. soil, mulch, stone)?

    Yup! They had sides on it while working the fields too. It will be a great multi use vehicle but not much for commuting lol

     

  3. I am working out some details on getting this truck back to the house and will be starting to rebuild it.

    This was my Grandfathers farm truck and it has been passed down to me, he bought it new in Woodstock and has been the only owner. The body is rough but everything works on it. Has a 16 foot dump bed and is a 318 Wide Block (I believe) with a manual trans. 

    I cannot wait to get started on this as its one of the most important vehicles i have ever owned. 

    Plans are to use it for shows and carting around any 4x4s I have as needed lol.

  4. I would suggest the 91, have been putting that in the Ranger and its awesome. Also you could look for an aftermarket or Ford Performance tune and see if it helps, plan on the Ford Performance tune for the Ranger here soon.

    Hopefully the valve body fixes the issue and gets that working. The Ranger has a vibration in the driveline when starting at times but Ford says its nothing to do. They shim the rear diff or replace the center bearing on the two piece. I have the same issue with navigation using CarPlay at times but not sure if its CarPlay or the sync system itself. 

    Fingers crossed they get that stuff fixed soon.
