Not been here much lately . I got me one more project , doesn't everyone need one . I got a 1995 Ford Ranger extended cab 4x4 with automatic transmission off my cousen . This poor old truck had been rode hard way before he got it to drive while his truck was broke down . He is the type guy that will tell you everything wrong with a vehicle and leave nothing to chance. With the list of faults he was not even trying to sell it .The idea is the wife can drive it as the other two trucks here are all straight shift.
I started working on it at both ends as it had no rear brakes ,one side was not there at all, yep the ABS was unplugged. So to the internet and Rock Auto I went . Then up front we needed a radiator ,shroud, fan, and clutch for it . Mean while hunting parts at another kin's used car lot I spied a set of leather bucket seats with all the bells and whistles on them ,including heat. Yes you can direct bolt in Ford Explorer seats from a 2001 into a Extended cab Ranger with the 60\40 seats, just got to run the wires .
While there I reworked the window motors locks and replaced both outside door handles .
Little truck is shaping up so good I said what the heck may as well get rid of all the scratches and dings while I am at it . So out with the DA sander and grab the paint gun.Keep on I'm going to have a thousand dollars in this truck !
