Not sure these builds will be worthy of a thread but thought I’d document anyway. “Jekyl” is the new stock 76 Ranger and will be left mostly stock but restored with a few driver friendly upgrades. This will be the wife’s truck so she’ll be choosing options. I may actually take this one to a restoration shop but haven’t decided yet. I’ll be fixing a few things to get it drivable in the short term.
“Hyde” is not stock now and will never be that way. Fist thing I want to address is steering and brakes, and today feels like Christmas
I just picked up a pallet of parts from James Duff at the fedex terminal.
Since I plan on rebuilding most everything from the ground up, I chose to just replace all of the steering and suspension with new rather than chasing problems and addressing one at a time.
This order includes:
New steering box
Heim steer
Trex radius arms
Front disc brake kit
2.5” coils
2.5” 11 spring leaf pack
It’s already got a DD slip steering staff and a new adjustable track bar so they can stay.
The truck has 3.5” lift on it now, but I’ll need to add body lift and don’t want it any taller so swapping it out while everything is apart.
