What do you guys think of something like this? I spent about 15 minutes in MS Paint making this, so it's a little ghetto, but you get the idea...
I was thinking one day when I'm done with school and have a little bit of time, I'd like to build something like this. I particularly like the design of the 01-05 Explorer Sport-Trac, as well as the 2001-2003 Explorer Sport, and thought it would look pretty cool as a single cab pickup.
I don't know much about the platform, but I know my 02 Sport is a Body-On-Frame, so I assume the SportTrack is the same. I'm under the impression that this is basically nothing more than a Ford Ranger? Would I be correct in assuming this?
I'd like to have a pickup, and rather like the styling of these vehicles. It would be cool to build one that had all the features of the Sport-Trac (sunroof, roll-down rear window, sport-trac interior, and an elongated Sport-Trac pickup bed.
I think it would be pretty cool. I can weld, so I don't assume it would be that big of a deal... the hardest part obviously would just be straightening out the panels, and I might have to tear up a Sport also to get the part forward of the wheel well... (or at least buy a patch panel... heh)
