    bought this trunk for junk yarding, beating around, and recently... to start working out of. it's a '97 Ranger (i like Rangers :)), 2.3, 5sp, stepside. bought it with a cracked head for $200, purchased a 100k mile engine for $250, better front bumper for $50, and the rims and tires for $200. so i gout roughly $700 in another truck so i dont think that's too bad. :yup:

    That has to be the biggest "trunk" I have ever seen. Kinda looks like a truck so I say good deal (y)
