Just got this 73 ford courier, its my new diamond in the rough, gotta love the vintage mini trucks!!!
Hopfully with alot of blood, sweat, and beers this will be how it turns out! Possibly black instead of red but that prob wont be decided untill I'm ready to pull the trigger on the paint gun!
The suspension will be bagged, sporting Lou's brass knux four link and body droped 6 inches cutting off the ugly ass rockers!
Hopefully it'll get an engine swap to a 302 but will see how that shit goes because I don't know anything about the mechanical aspect of the building world and that lil 1.8 gets 40 mpg.
Sounds like a nice build, finish the darn ranger so you can get started on it.
yeah I hear ya man, one project at a time, I think Lou has rubbed off on me, he has a yard full of projects lol.
i have a pal with a courier thats plain killer. i will try and get him to put up some pics.
Well I found it John (wagesofsin)... Couriers are a tough little truck, this is what I did with my 72
Thats killer riporter, did you do all of your own work ? I'm thinking of doin a 302 swap in mine. How diffacult is that?
I can't wait to see what Allen does with his courier. If you haven't noticed, he does some Great paint work, and after lowering that little truck, hell, Even "I" will be able to see the top of it! (for those of you who don't know, I'm only 5'0" tall)
I like the rendering. I think you might be able to do something with it.
Thats one bad ass little truck,or at least will be when your dun with it. The ford Courier is on my short list of future builds, Only its getting hard to find them in good enough shape.
thankx cementshoes, yea they're gettin hard to find. I found this one on craigslist it's in perfect shape and only has 70k original miles, the body is perfect all but the floor board but i'm cuttin that shit out anyways lol. Hopefully I can get to it with in the next year right now im buildin the ranger.
