[QUOTE="EcoBoostF100, post: 15352341, member: 136784"] Its been a long time since any updates! After the initial test drive and a 2nd longer drive around 55 miles it was time to get back on the project. I knew from beginning I would have a issue with tire fitment as the new trucks have a much wider track width. Beginning of February 2016 I ordered a set of custom wheels. And while waiting the 14+ weeks it took to get the wheels I started yet another EcoProject. Maybe foolish but needed a nice daily driver. This time a pretty nice to start with 1966 F250 Ranger ( A very rare truck) Starting off with a 2015 3.5 Eco & 6R80 from a 4x4. Within a few hours of getting the 2015 engine it was sitting in place with great hope as it fit quite nicely with ZERO mods to frame. But of course from there it turned into a typical for me much larger project. Pretty soon the front clip then the cab then the box were removed from frame. From there it snowballed into a full "Chassis" restoration. I have now had Eco 2 running but its still in the "build" stages. A HUGE thanks to walt460 for the wiring work. Just today I installed box back on the Eco 1 Project just to make more room around shop. WIth a front end alignment needed before I can do more "test drives" as dropped the front a bunch with a lowering kit. Photo's soon. [/QUOTE]
