Resurrecting "The Rangersuarus" My 69 Ranger

[AK F100]

Lookin' good ! Keep up the good work.

The rear end is a DANA 60. It has extra webbing on it the 44 dosen't have

I agree, it looks great.

But I did not know the D60 was an option for a 1/2 Ton.

[69rangerf100]

yeah and the kicker is that it is a 5 lug D60

Picked up my new set of pivot bushings hoping this set works that way I can start rebuilding the front end back onto the frame

[69rangerf100]

painted the rest of the chassis

[69rangerf100]

Did this awhile back but forgot to post. The block now has color

, The block looks good, what did you use to paint it with?

i used Rustoleum Dark Ford Blue Engine Enamel

got a lot of work ahead of me now that i have new chassis parts to put on the frame and make it a rolling chassis again. i have rebuilt the spring packs, front and rear shocks, pivot bushings radius arm bushings, king pin set, front rotors

[69rangerf100]

after some tough love i finally got the pivot bushing installed on my i-beams. now i can start the rebuild on the front end and see my chassis starting to come together with front disk brakes

[69rangerf100]

got the drive side king pin installed and the driver side rotor installed

well as usual i have more than my truck resto project going on my wife was like you can work on the truck til you get the master bathroom finished. which she is right i should have had it done atleast a month ago if not longer. long story short her cat destroyed the carpet that the PO put in there so i pulled the carpet out. prepped the ply food floor for the backer board to go down got that laid down about a month ago. got most of the tile laid out today now the measure the tiles that i need to cut to make sure that everything fits just right. then i can lay the mortar and get the tile down wait a day then grout the floor then i get tio reinstall everything that i took off and out hoping for a 2 week delay in getting back to my truck i am so close to having it back on all four can wait to see it roll again

well wife hasnt been feeling good and the her cat need the litter box changed. so i told her i would do it on one condition that i get to spend some time in the garage working on the bump. cool thing is i finished up the front disk brake conversion. so now i need to put some air back in the tires and roll the chassis out and pull the cab off and start the stripping on it

[69rangerf100]

put wheels and tires on the front of the chassis. jacked up the chassis took the jack stands out from under and it sits on all 4 corners now

[69rangerf100]

ready to move the chassis out of the garage so that i can start working on the cab off of the chassis. just gotta find a tarp to cover the chassis while its on the outside in the weather
