I have one waiting, but no time to pursue for 3yrs now. 65 F250 Ranger. Rebuilt Fe, ps, pb, 79 front end swap and no rust or body damage. I drove it home 7mi and parked it 3yrs ago. been collecting parts ever sense. Only 4 of the 65 F250 Rangers are known about so yes I need to preserve it.

The day I bought it



This is where it lives on blocks.

Few of my projects



1966 F250 Deluxe CamperSpecial Ranger. I installed a prototype 3.5 6R80 combo. Kind of a full resto but engine transmission swap. This will be my tow rig.

Factory F100 4x4 getting a 2.7 EcoBoost maintain Dana 44 front but going E Lock diff HD 8.8. I added 2015-20 F150 14” brakes to front of Dana 44 and switched bolt pattern to modern 6 lug.

Prototype 3.5 with Ford GT Turbos.

1965 F600 it’s getting 2018 chassis with full electronics and 3.5 10R80 combo

Just finished up this ‘56 BelAir with LS3 crate engine 4L60E combo for a good friend.

Currently my daily driver 352 with a factory overdrive. It’s getting a fresh 393 FE and C-6 GVOD combo. Saving the current 352 OD for a M-100 Ranger. This truck will be clone to one my dad bought new. See next pic

Blue truck will be clone of this one. Just a few of current. Also in middle of a ‘66 F100 Ranger which will be closest to as delivered from factory. A full frame off. Tons of NOS parts and restored original

Couple more of the too many.

540” boss9 with twin turbos.

‘66 F100 Ranger. Special order 1965 Tbird color
also had since new 1965 tbird spinner hubcaps.
ordered thru a CA dealer sold new here in AZ so has smog pump jump seat in place of console power steering power brakes and AC. It also has factory overdrive. Think only 2? ‘66 rangers so equipped.

other than that not much to do. 3 motorbikes and a 1966 F100 go-kart. It’s number 49 of 50 sold.

Today we pulled the 3rd member out of my buddies truck & ordered a new one set up with 3.25 gears. Now he’ll be able to swap from 3.70s to the 3.25s pretty easily.

If your buddy is planning on swapping gears on a regular basis, this may be a good time to install a drain plug in the bottom of the diff. I took the captive nut from an old oil pan and welded it into the bottom of the diff for such a use, years ago, on a car we were street driving and taking to the drag strip on occasion. Works great.

73 better with brake issues and an 08 heep with auto transmission issues. Neither one are mine

89 BMW E30, 325I been working on it for twenty years now so she's working pretty good. I keep it at the shop for those days when I can't get whatever I'm working on on my truck takes more than a day.

My 63 Unibody long bed. The crown Vic front conversion is about half done, 390 build is at the machine shop, t-19 is in the bed. The jaguar rear independent diff, bmw M5 swing arms, knuckles and springs, oh and the jag axles and driveshaft are all tucked away in the shop storeroom. Engine compartment is all prepped and painted. Interior gutted.

Plus all of these eventually.
