Default Project "BLACKFOOT"

Ok so I finally got me another project truck since I sold my grandfathers ranger a few months back and totally regret it now but anyway I bought a 1987 2wd reg cab 2.3 that used to be tan and black and is now like a pink and black everyone at work calls it the titty pink truck but that is ok cause within the next few weeks it will be in black primer I dont have any of the outside of the truck yet cause Daniel has not sent them to me (HIM being the SLACKER that he is) but as soon as I get them I will post them or maybe he will be nice enough to post them anyway sorry for the rant but on to the pics!

So I put it up in the air today to see just what and all had to be done and this is what I found





This is the only pic I have of the outside right now

As of right now its still up in the air but I do know that it is going to get lowered but as far as drivetrain goes I'm tossing up a sleeper turbo motor and the 5.0 I've got not sure what do you think?

I've just about made my mind up to do the 2.3 turbo so I did the shackle fllip today on the rear and I am going to order me some springs or some beams for up front. I was wondering what yall thought about the pros and cons of the 2 just let me know what yall think. I took some pics but you really cant see weather was to bad to get any good ones
