So back in the day (college) I had a 94 4.0 ext cab 4x4 and the truck was just an animal, some gears, welded diffs, 33x14 boggers , went a lot of places bigger trucks couldn't. I ended up getting out of that, into building fast cars, then jeeps, now I'm building this monstrosity.
So I got to drinking beer with my dear buddy Anderson ( He owned the aforementioned ranger before me) and we both missed that 94 & were going to build another trail/mud truck this year, so to hell with it.
We got on marketplace, found a 93 2wd 4cyl for $75, said it jumped time. Pics were taken at night, we could tell the box looked like it had been rolled and misc dents, grill broken, some rust. But figured who cares, it's a mud truck, supposed to go anywhere, didn't have to look pretty doing it, we just wanted an early 2nd gen like we had before. It'll end up getting glass bedsides & a bunch of other junk anyways, so who cares what it looks like.
After having a few more beers we hopped in the powerstroke, hooked up the flatbed & went to middle of meth capital Michigan and picked up the biggest POS ever.
Fawkin Mint.
And it starts. I'll upload some pics tomorrow, but for now the beers cold & I'm thirsty.

Here's the 351W slightly disassembled, just going through a check-up after being in the 86F250 for last years bog season. It's going to get all new bearings, cylinders honed, and rings. This was spurred by the carb getting stuck wide open (Damn Holley) and dumping about a few extra quarts into the oil pan. Luckily it got shut down before too much more beating, so nothing really got trashed.
