A 71 F100 street truck build... on 35" tires.

I regularly put 2K in my 93 Ford Ranger without issues.

Seriously? I want to see pictures of your Ranger with a ton in the bed!

I'll look for some. If not I'll get one next time I do a scrap run.

For now, here is my Bronco towing a small trailer:

maybe you mean you tow 2000lbs? big difference between towing 2000lbs and loading 2000lbs in the back...

That is way too much tongue weight for that Bronco. Got you a floater there. Seriously? Just to say you did it? Sell that Bronco and buy a truck that can handle the weight.

Incorrect. I didn't put a hitch on the Ranger because I have three other trucks to tow with. It's got 304K miles on it anyways. Kinda late in the game to buy a Class III hitch.

Why would I sell my Bronco? I like it, and it tows 5-8K no problem, and it serves it purpose as a short wheelbase 4x4. That back sags from the Deaver spring pack with no overloads, not from too much tongue weight. I have a 86 F250 with a 6BT and a 96 CCSB cheater truck too if I want to tow 10-15K.

Oh...overloaded. Nice enough

Play nice

Found this photo. I really like the stance of this truck. Hopefully my truck will sit about the same. I'll probably go with a Autofab drop hood though.

That is a good looking truck, would be cool to see more pics of the whole set-up.... the four link and cage work.

Full Bro-dozer build.

I've decided I want to find a steel 67 grill and headlight doors. I figure I can find one of those in better condition than an Aluminum one and then have it powder coated.

It's a shame the grills are not made aftermarket.

Where you located at? I have a 67 steel grill and buckets in Southern Illinois.

I'm in Arizona.

Shipping would be a little steep. You have all that rust free iron over there it should be easy to find one.
