Man those are the best tow rigs for a 03/04 cobra. That way you have spare parts.

Hay Bales just wish they were lucky enough to ride in the back! We've got dogs that would fight to load up in one of theose trucks.

True, they do make great tow vehicles. I've had both my Capri, and the Coupe behind my L on occasion, and you cant even tell it's there !

I do use mine for work though as well if it's needed. My truck is not for show, and if I need to go to the dump or whatnot, then she gets down and dirty LOL !

You can always shoehorn a Lightning engine in there. Yes, it has been done though a 302 would be MUCH easier LOL !

Very nice Farm truck.:yes1:

There were a few nice black ones there, but unfortunately I didn't get a pick of the black one that I was partial to. It was a Vortech blown 408 stroker in a 93 Lightning, and it had a REALLY nice look/sound to it. There were quite a few Gen II's there that day that woulda killed it, but it was just super cool to me. I may try a 1st Gen if I ever get ahead enough to have another Farm Truck !

No, you got some cool info to share ?!?!

I was getting ready to smack ya for not coming over to hang out, then I remembered, that was back before I was in the NLOC, and definitely before D/A led me to the BMC...

well eventually it WILL be a 408 stroker, but for now, its just gonna be a 351w, thats in a Bronco II rite now. so i have the mounts etc.... so imma pull it out, take the heads off, get them ported to hell and back, polished, and the intake....etc..... imma replace every gasket on the moter (i hate oil leaks) new water pump, it has a 2b carb on there now, and imma get a 4b to put on there, it would like already be done, but im still tryin to find a tranny and transfer case! imma try and get out to my gf's uncles house (were the moter is) and start gettin ready to get it out of the BII. and ill snap some pics, if can get off work long enought to get over there. so here are some pics of my ranger now. it should be a fun project, and i plan on lifting it ALOT more. but that will come in time, if you cant tell i have BIG plans for it. imma box the frame in, put a ford 9in, in the rear or a dana 60, and dana 44 in the front. and like i said, thats just the surface. :thumbsup1:
