My 1988 Saleen Ranger pick-up truck

[old5.0]

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: pxtx</div><div class="ubbcode-body">The mini-truck movement was in mid-stride in 1988. What did Steve do to those trucks as far as suspension or other performance mods? I think just about everything I see is spot on for the era and I dig it, well maybe the grille is a bit much. Otherwise, pretty cool! </div></div>

I don't know much about them. They had suspension upgrades and I think a better exhaust system; otherwise the driveline was stock. I think they prototyped one with a 5.0, but that never went anywhere. Too bad, since a basic 2wd Ranger was a solid 300 pounds lighter than the lightest Mustang notch. Would've been an animal with a stock HO in it.

I know Saleen campaigned a few in a truck series SCCA had at the time. I've heard that a handful of &quot;R Model&quot; Rangers were available for purchase from Saleen, but I couldn't say if that's true or just another story, or what mods may have been done to them. Either way, neat little truck and definitely a product of the 80s mini-truck fad.
