1) 78 F150 Ranger. Got it when I was 12 and put a tranny in it. Put about 200 miles on it just runnin it up and down the road. Was plannin on restoring it.

2) 96 F150. Got it when I was 15 from all the money I saved up over the years, then scrapped the 78. Really wish I wouldn't have done that, I miss it a lot now, looking for another 78-79.

1) 1995 Chev ext cab S10 4x4 4.3L, was an OK truck except that it needed constant attention, sold it
2) 1990 Ford Mustang 5.0 coupe, still have it
3) 1992 Ford F-150 reg cab Flareside 4x4 5.0L, motor finally died after 200,000km and poor previous owner maintenance. Newly married and working on a kid, ended up not being able to justify fixing it
4) 2003 Supercrew F150, current, the only other brand truck I think I'd ever own other than a Ford would be a Dodge/Cummins truck.

no times yet, still a work in progress as I can't seem to leave good enough alone.




engine is originally a Ford Racing GT40x/Ecam crate motor, tubular GT40 intake
manifold, Hellion kit w/62mm Turbonetics turbo & air to air intercooler, 42# injectors.
Working on suspension and brake upgrades as well currently, and getting stock headlights...
not liking these ones anymore. Thanks for the interest.

Nice. A couple of years ago my friend had a Hellion kit on his 92 and made 404/443 on a stock 200k mile motor. Impressive numbers for that kit. You can pick up stock lights for $100 at LRS.
