Has anyone seen Rangers truck?
OK, we are reading about Rangers trucks like there were delivered off the factory floor. NOS this, original that.
Has anyone ever taken detailed shots of this truck so we can see if the hype equals the post count?
I've asked him for pics of the parts he sells (no go.. he says he doesn't own a camera or know how to post etc etc etc).
If his truck is that pure, then it would be a great reference for the rest of us. Has anyone seen the engine compartment? The cab, the underside? That it actually exists?
I don't mean this in a mean or disrespectful way but with so few PROPERLY restored examples, and the posts he's made about his truck... I figure it should have been in Army Motors or Military Vehicles at least once...
I don't care to read about 'I've seen it'.. but pics as an example of a properly restored truck.
If you have a truck that you think is as pure, can you post detailed pics of it? The two jeeps a jeepdraw.com are kinda what I am looking for.

Good post, I thought I remembered those photos. That is one heck of a nice looking truck that JG built.

I assure you Joel's truck exists,not only have I seen it, I have had the honor of riding with him one veterans day parade
That truck is joe's baby and he treats it accordingly,
She is one fine tuned machine and is all he claims it to be.
With all of the time,money,and effort he has put into his truck he has earned the right to be proud

Been following you antics for 6 years and not even the WWII Jeep trailer is done, did you give up. I remember you were painting it and the dogs tracked up the paint job, your comment was something like "it's only an army trailer" or something to that effect.

Re: Has anyone seen Rangers truck?
My horn looks JUST like that one... not sure of the sound.. it does make a noise, but with no point of reference its hard to say what it sounds like. Are there any markings to look for?
I do envy that regulator. A 41 should be positive ground... or did you swap to neg ground?
