I loved that little Courier I had. Rusty as hell, fenders were held on with wood screws & that little bugger would get stuck but you couldn't kill it.

I often wondered the same thing, I would think that you could use the 4x4 parts out of a early small Ranger to do the conversion if you use your imagination.

They do great jumps! Its a wonder that mine made it through my college years. There are some 4x4 couriers, I've seen a couple. Apparently they used jeep components to do the conversion. Don't know who did them though.

Just a thought. Where I hunt the road is very tight, as in BIG trees and leased property so I can't cut a new road. Also I have seen some chevy luv 4x4's. Thanks guys.

I think a 1980s Mazda front end can be easily fitted to this truck!
