Vehicle Summary- This truck began as a father son project 6 years ago as a complete original equipment restoration. My son graduated and joined the Marines. The original 2.9L engine cracked a head and we installed the 351W and automatic since I had this combination available.
It’s not been abused as you can tell in the pictures. Most of the driving has been from the Marine base to home about 120 miles one way over some weekends (Approximately one year of operation with current powertrain).
There is no rust in this truck. This conversion has been done meticulously with emphasis on durability and not something so radical it couldn’t be enjoyed operating daily. Additionally, as many factory parts as possible were used to make this look all original (Components from early factory V8 Explorers and Rangers easily swap which is what this project was based on).
If you want a vehicle that gets constant good comments and looks from others and is fun to operate, this is it!
