That puppy looks comfy when the winter gets cold! What better "comforter" could you ask for?

I see the LOCKS on the front axles!

You gotta be a man to step out and set them.....

(An arkansas man I once knew also said that: "You gotta be a man to split a black oak")

I believe that - it's very hard wood!

I would guess Chow and Goldie... it IS a pretty dog!

(I love dogs - I can't help that)

"the green machine" 1993 ranger supercab, 4.0 V6, 5 speed manual with hurst shifter, 128,000 miles. ive had this truck for about 6 years now. i did have manual hubs but recently (just today) had to put the auto's back on due to stripping out one of the manual hubs. has 3.73 gearing, 5040 gvwr, ive added coil helpers to the rear axle and put a cast rear cover on with bearing load supports. this is my 2nd ranger. the first was a '88 2.3 2wd supercab. i kind of like it better without the cap, but for my useage, most of the time the cap is needed. i occasionally pull a 6 x 10 box trailer. my fuel milage is 19 at best, but only 10-12 when pulling the trailer due to wind resistance. yes the tube steps look real low, when i put them on they were up against the body and not useable as steps. i made brackets to drop them 2" and kick them out 2". i also braced them back to the frame to avoid the stress of the added leverage. one thing not shown is the dixie horn setup i have under the hood. being a fan of the "dukes of hazzard" tv show, ive always had to have something with a black grille guard and the dixie horn setup. while ive had 2wd trucks before, this is my first 4x4 pickup. the winter wheels came off a '01 jeep wrangler. thats one reason my factory alloys still look so good. ive put the spare in the box mounted upright to the drivers side bedrail, it doesnt take up much space and isnt as bad to get to, ive never needed it, but its nice to know it wouldnt be a hassle if i needed it. thers more photos on my cardomain, but these are probly my most recent shots, all within the last 5 months. with winter rims: last summer without cap : and with the trailer:

I was thinking about uploading a pic of my 60 Panel, but the old pic of a picture really sucks. It was a nice truck though.. so you can add it to the list of "wannabe chosens" that didn't show up. I didn't take a lotta pictures of anything back then .. much to my shame now days.Ahh well.

It's been kinda quiet in here - DO YOU REALLY WANT MY OWN OLD CLUNKER TO WIN?

Shucks - I traded it away just to get a rebuildable ENGINE fer cryin' out loud...
What's holding everybody back?

UNDERSTAND that at two weeks the runners that are here right now will be the only ones in the poll -

The clock is running, if you want in you need to get there right now.

And where once again are all of the 1/4 ton Ranger people at? Scared? Hiding....

Like they were not bitchen trucks in their own right!

COME OUT AND SHOW YOUR "RIDE PRIDE"

"The MUSTANGS" of honest to God trucks - LIGHT AND FAST!!!!

Bring it on....

That below is my daily ride. Got better? THEN SHOW IT!

Mine is a Labrador Retreiver expressed in steel - I love it to tears, boy - I'm telling you....
It has done nothing but good for me, and I am known by that truck. It "Expresses" me in the same way that the dog you own resembles you....

A lot about it was my own thought and what I felt. I made it part of me

(This is not my contest entry)

I drive that everywhere I go

You do what you want - but here is the chance, why waste it?

Is the snow covering your head and making your mind and thoughts cold? COME ON! Get IN THIS!


What the hell, it's fun


(THAT truck I will not enter for a long time - many years from now. It's what I drive around in to go to the store)


~ I like every bit of it
*I also think it needs a V8 or V10 driveline....

Now be chicken or be BOLD:

Enter your pictures or step away and watch the show without you....

UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT
We're doing it - SteveBricks will be handling the 1957 - 1996 Classic Ford Truck series,
I in turn have the 21st CENTURY Ford Truck series, and fabmandelux is running the show
for the 1910 - 1956 "FAT FENDERED MOB"


Under the new arrangement, only one contest can be managed by any one person,
it remains to be seen what category 76F350+14 will maintain of the three he began...

I forgot to subscribe to this. Sadly, looks like I didn't miss much. Only 2 posters since I posted that long ago :-(

Come on guys, post up some pics!

EDIT: Am I missing something? Is it over lol?
