Howdy. Bought a ranch worn 40. As best I can tell the body is a mix of a 73 and 78....runs great. Steering feels a little wonky. Just going to get it mechanically sound and use it as a fishing/hunting rig.

Would you mind showing how that center console is mounted to the seat frames ?

Looks like a fun truck!
My wonky steering was greatly reduced by adding 4° shims on the front with longer spring pins to accommodate the shims.
Truck is running a 2.5 spring lift w/ 3 inch shackle and 33's.

Rad truck.
Those shackle angles in the rear look downright terrifying. Not to great in the front either. I’d start by addressing those.

No doubt. Honestly considering a donor body and doing a rebuild. Axles up

This one seems like a no brainer. If I had the dough I’d snatch it up.
Let me know if I can help get.

I listed those tubs as well as a new front firewall/cowl from topnault as well. Combine the 3/4 topnault tub w/ the topnault firewall I have for sale and you have a completely new tub. Mods necessary on the 3/4 tub listed in the classifieds post. PM me if you would like any additional pics or I can answer any questions you may have.
