baja4 Posted January 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 ratrod, yes,the beams are widened ranger beams, ranger centers with extended outers, and ranger spindles. Bob, the A pillar cage ties into a body mount that has extra gussets on it, and the B pillar tube goes all the way through with a bend to tie into the frame.The cage does go from the engine compartment, through the cab, and out the back, body and bed will never come off. Where in Co. are you? Quote Link to comment

baja4 Posted January 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Madness, rear springs are 57" Deavers, 7 leaf, with 12" shackles. Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Awesome, I love it. I go to some races with friends. They have a nissan hardbody, early 70's chevy, and this ranger that race. A pretty fun race is coming up - Battle at Primm (Nevada)... Quote Link to comment
baja4 Posted January 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Hey Matt, Very cool pictures. That Ranger looks trick. How do they do racing? That is the only thing I miss about California, is the desert racing. Actually headed to Parker, and King of the Hammers in a couple weeks. Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 They do well in their class(es) - I think the ranger finished in first place this last season. They run in the M.O.R.E. sportsman truck classes (1400 & 1450) so it's more grass roots and lower dollar than some of the others. I didn't realize KoH was coming up again so soon. I haven't been, but I've seen some of the rigs on pirate4x4 and they are impressive. Quote Link to comment
dezertranger Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 nice truck matt i was at BAP last year looked like your truck was running pretty good, not this febuary but maybe next ill be out racing too, in my 620 :cool: that is if i can finish it lol -jeremy Quote Link to comment
garryk6 Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Hello all, New guy to your forum here. Glad we found you. Thought I would post some pictures of our new to us 521. Bought it in California a few months ago. Built well, just needs some finishing up. Suppose to be my son's first truck in about a year, but I'm getting attached to it. I had a 71,converted to 4x4, in about 1982 as my first truck. Should of never sold it. Also have a 70 521 we're parting out, will post it in the classifieds. Thanks for the forum. ANy new updates of progress on the truck? What size tires are you running in the pics? Great Looking Truck!!! Garry in Kodiak, Alaska Quote Link to comment
