2001 Ranger Project:

I bought this truck from the body shop across the street of where I work at in Roosevelt. I bought it for $400. I had to take it down to the dealer to get a computerized key made in order to start it. It has PATS and you can not use a regular key. Key cost me $100 dollars. I then bought a cab from the local junk yard for $350 with the seats in it. My plan is to swap the cabs and make it safe again to drive. My goal is to stay under $2000 dollars by the time it is finished.

This is how I bought it.




Runs and drives great. 4x4, a/c, and everything else works great.

Projects of the past

Well I thought that I would start off making a list of the different vehicles that I have had.

Past Vehicles:

1986 Ford  F-150:
   It was found in a guys yard with a basket ball hoop that had fallen and busted the window. It was very rusty and needed a lot of work. I replaced the clutch, u-joints, brakes, tires, and primed it. I sold it before I got it painted.

1994 Ford Ranger:
 Teal green ranger that I bought  when I was 17 from Smith Auto Co. I bought it and made an exhaust for it as well as a cold air intake. I put a stereo system in ti as well. I put it up for sale right before my mission and it sold soon after I left.

1987 Ford Ranger:
 Bought when I was 17 from a friend. Fixed it up and sold it. First truck that I made money on after I fixed it up.

1999 Ford F-350 Powerstroke:
 Bought when I got home from my mission from my Dad. He had ordered it in 99. Sold a few months later due to my fathers death.

2006 Chevy Duramax:
 Bought 2 weeks after my Dad passed away. (which was only 4 weeks after I had bought my 99 Powerstroke.

1997 Ford F-250 Powerstroke:
 Bought when I sold my Duramax a week before I got married. I kept this truck until the summer of 2009. I did a lot of modification to the truck. Lift, wheel & tires, inter-cooler, injectors, and many more. It was a fun clean truck that had a lot of power.

1986, 83  Isuzu pup truck
 Diesel powered trucks that I had for work trucks. Great fuel mileage and fun little trucks.

1996 Ford Ranger:
 Bought it so I would have a way to work and such. Sold it to Chris. (brother in law)

1990 Ford F-350 IDI Diesel
 Bought for $1500 and sold for $2500 a few weeks later

Current Vehicles:

1969 Chevy Camaro:
  Bought my DREAM CAR! A 1969 Camaro 4spd, 350, and ready to build. I will post more about this later.

1950 Willys Jeep:
 Inherited when my dad passed. Great Grandpa had it on the farm since new.

2001 Ford Ranger:
 Bought it from a body shop across the street from where I work in Roosevelt. I was totalled out and I am building it for a daily driver.
