1961 Ranchero Custom 4x4 Mounted On 91 Explorer Ranger Chassis Drivetrain Ac on 2040-cars

1961 Ranchero / Ranger 4x4 custom

Up for AUCTION:

THIS IS A PROJECT TRUCK obviously not finished
but a great start that runs and drives, yes !
... PLEASE READ ON !

On the surface it looks like a 1961 Ranchero 4x4 
(something Ford never made back in the day) and 
underneath, its a 91 Ranger (or explorer, dont recall)
Ill find the info out under the hood on exactly what
yr chassis/drivetrain was used for the conversion.

The project has a great start and its a driver ( or was until
we took out the windshield and side glass preparing it for
an up coming paint job). It comes with a brand new windshield
which we where going to install once it was painted.

Its titled as an 61 Ranchero but has all the driving and creature
comforts of a Newer Ranger Truck

This beast gets looks all the time, you cant drive it around 
without drawing a small crowd, even just getting gas.
Basically the last owner took the body of a 61 Ranchero and
fitted it over and around the chassis and bulkhead of a 91
Ford Bulkhead.

Shows 95k aprox on the odometer, prob original

DRIVETRAIN: under the hood, the stock and factory 2.3L 4 cyl 
with EFI, working AC,  PS connected to the explorers 5 spd trans
and all the original 4x4 drivetrain, including both diffs etc.
Motor starts and runs like it should, shifts great and is really a
cool driver mechanically speaking. HP rating is probably around 170
in stock form I think.

Mickey Thompson Alloy 15x7 Rims with some almost new Michelin
AT tires too. including a matching 5th spare wheel.
The rear has a small 2" lift to help level it out and for tire clearance.

INTERIOR: the dash cluster was also fitted to the stock dash and 
best I can tell, all the gauges from the explorer still work.
The climate controls are from the explorer too, as is the steering
column etc too. They are not fully finished for the best look
but they are functional for now. They will need some finishing inside
for a better finish overall. The bench seat is also out of the explorer
in pretty nice shape, but it really sits too close to the steering wheel
and I believe the mounting needs to be lowered some for more
clearance between your legs and sw. 
Rest of the interior is sparse, waiting to be finished, painted and
redone the way the new owner chooses. We did not remove the
back window.

Long time ago the bed was rhino lined in black, it could prob
be redone soon. ALL the parts we took off will come in boxes in 
the bed of the truck. Window glass, hardware, handles etc.
(see pics)

EXTERIOR: Body is a nice Az body, but still did get a little rust around
the rear upper wheelwells and will need some work there, but check
out the pics, for the most part its a really rust free body. It has some
dents here and there for an older truck and the bumpers have some
minor damage. I was going to paint the bumpers body color or a
contrasting color to whatever color the body was painted and due
away with the chrome. 

Its so cool, on the outside its old school
pop the hood and its all modern fuel injected 4 cyl motor
with a 5 spd.
The factory ECM is still in the pass side kick panel area.

This car is mostly rust free Arizona 4x4 , far from perfect

its still 1 of a kind

MOST OF THESE PICS WHERE TAKEN LAST YR
The only difference now is we did some more sanding on the
truck and started doing a little body work since then, so 
many areas now the primer has been sanded thru . Also the side
glass has been removed and had the doors off during some
body work time.

Youll notice in the pics, all primered and in some body work
being done in the pics, those are the more current pics just
taken over the weekend.

Check out ALL the pics below ----->

it may take a full minute for them all to load if you have a
slow connection, so be patient AND looks for the extra schroll
bar on the right side.
Az gets maybe 12" a yr of rain and Az very dry climate.
more info AFTER the pics etc. There are 100 large pics.
