Actually, that Ford Ranger step side bed looks pretty decent.

It does look bad, the proportions are decent its more the engine is in a sealed bed with no air flow or intake vents, adding a fan is just blowing warm engine air back at the warm engine! |

Now if the owner stuck a Type 3 engine in it and vented it to the sides of the quarters, they would have a fairly useful truck. Imho.

Some people think they stopped making beetles after 1957. Some people think they stopped making buses in March 55, or August 58, or August 63, or July 67.
Some think that if your beetle has a padded dash, it's an engine donor. Some think that if it has push button door handles, it's a boat anchor.
Do what you want. Ignore the elitists. Drive your VW. Enjoy life. |
