I'm 100% sure my tiny wife might have an issue with me doing that. Haha.

I can relate. I have plenty of heat in the shop but that requires going out there and turning it on.

Started cutting the bed to fit!

Down to 212.7 lbs ......
It's going on "Gotta Cut Out That Diet", eh?

[BBR]

Sawed some more holes!

Fitting the bed, Part 3.
Ohhhhh yeeeeessssszzz.

[BBR]

Put the flat tailgate from my very first Ranger on and welded in the inner fenders.

Scored an Edelbrock Victor 460 intake locally for cheap off Marketplace! Right place, right time!

Also I saw that Coker Tire has some great deals on Phoenix brand (formerly Firestone) drag tires right now if you need a new set.

[Captain]

Great Finds ......
I'm not a Fan of Coker Tire.
Give us a "Review" of the tires later.
I've had "Quality Issues" in the past.

I've heard that the Phoenix brand is a good tire. I guess we'll see. I bought a couple of 28/10.5-15 slicks. Pretty much got 2 for the price of 1 MT or Hoosier.

[BBR]

Added a couple of pieces under the shock mount to tie the bed floor back together. I'm going to add a couple of bed bolts to the front half and call the back end done for now.

Is it pretty? No.
Do I care? No.

[BBR]

Turned the truck around and took a sec to snap a few pics.

Perfect stance!
