V8 mini truck engine swaps....

I have a thing for mini trucks. I've nearly sold my duster to build one. But once you spend the money to build one, they're still worth nothing if you need to sell

Yep....have been looking at an 84 or so short bed Ranger sitting in some ones back yard everytime I go down 291 towards Spokane.....thing would make one hell of a neat truck with a twin turbo LS under the hood...but talk about a bottomless, worthless money pit...

My old Ranger had the v-8 parts taken out of it and the hull scrapped. I was able to sell all the conversion parts for what I paid for them 8 years earlier so I think I made out ok on it....had a blast driving it for several years and had a couple of grand in my pocket after scrapping it...
