Chuck Most Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Other than the wheels and steering wheel (AMT '60 Chevy Street Machine Pickup), and, of course, the engine (Revell Deuce 5-Window), it's alarmingly box stock: I painted over the all red-taillamp lenses (yeah- I let off in the Rants and Raves section about that subject), left the cornering lamps clear to resemble the aftermarket APC units, and hosed it off in Dark Highland Green I had left over from building an '08 Mustang Bullitt. Not my best work, but it kept me from beign totally bored for a couple of days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george 53 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Funny how well that 5.0 looks in that engine compartment, like it SHOULD be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyBradKeselowski Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Great looking truck!! Like the wheels... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Flowers Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Not a bad looking plain wrapper you there. My son had a V8 Ranger for awhile it was a fun truck to drive. But I will take my 97 over it. It is way more comfortable than the V8 was. The 4.0 has all the get up and go I need these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimastergary Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Looks good love the V8 under the hood makes it look like a cool ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyBad Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I hafta ask... why? Why? Why Not? That does make a Cool Looking Lil Truck. Of Course it defeats the purpose of buying a lil truck for Fuel economy Cool Beans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Handley Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Why not do it to do it, might not hurt the mileage much either since that motor wouldn't have to work all that hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
