my new project
ive always worked on 90s rangers as projects, but i just picked up my 1st piece of old iron. 1967 gmc long bed. 306 v6 auto trans. 98% rust free and thats a big deal here in michigan. i have alot lot to learn about these trucks. plans in a nut shell ..... bag it and get it layin frame with a pancaked crossmember , swap to 88+ drop splindles with brakes, triangulated 4-link, possibly backhalfed but not sure yet. maybe a motor swap to a small block v8 "not lookin to build a speed machine itll be easier to rebuild and find parts for though.
well anyways here it is,      and hopefully sooner than later itll look something like this

Re: my new project
I hope you leave the trim on it, I really like the way it looks. It would be easier to find parts for a SBC but that V6 would really stand out especially since you're going for something that stands out anyways. Just a thought.

A second welcome from Northern Cal - excellent find in the midwest, I grew up in WI and as badly as I miss the small town atmosphere and nice folks, rust free trucks all over the place in CA!
