the "R-140" is my own made-up model designation, since this was turning into a 70's tribute truck and i had moved the ranger nameplate to the back upper bedside, i needed something on the front fender where the ranger emblem had been. the 74-76 full size trucks had whatever they were there, such as "F-150". i figured id go with "R" for ranger, and 140 for engine displacement. (2.3/140 c.i.d.) plus 140 is a little less than 150 and its not quite a 1/2 ton truck. i thought about "R-50" but dodge used that once upon a time with there D-50 model compact trucks ( that were really made by mitsubishi ) just call it my own personal customazation. its certianally one of a kind.
OK on that !
Everyone has a reason for their naming things.
Never did it except for one vehicle, and that's another story.
