Camburg 7200 Ranger Project ....

**motoxscott** · 02-10-2009, 08:09 PM

Here's an exciting project we just got started on. We're building an i-beam Ford Ranger built around Best in the Deserts 7200 class rules.

Originally the customer bought all the parts off of us and was going to have a local shop build the truck for him. That didnt end up working out for him so he approached us to build it for him.

In a nutshell ... we're using part of the stock frame, the rear will be all tubes and it will be rocking a fiberglass body running the Ford SOHC 4.0L engine.

So far we sent the frame out to get sandblasted so it's nice and clean to work on, and once we got that back a couple days ago we started mounting the key suspension components. Now it's time to start bending up some tubes. We should make some really good progress in the next couple of weeks. I'll post updates as we go as usual.

Here's a brief list of what parts it will have on it.

Front Suspension
Camburg Race I-beam Kit (i-beams, radius arms, spindles, steering)
Camburg 2.25 front race hubs
Wilwood 12” x 1.25” rotors

Bilstein 9300 Blackhawk 16” travel bypass shocks
Bilstein 2.0 bumpstops

Rear Suspension & Driveline

Wilwood Forged Superlite 4-Piston calipers
Bilstein 9300 14” travel coilovers
Bilstein 9300 Blackhawk 16” travel bypass shocks
Bilstein 2.0 bumpstops

Engine
Ford 4.0L OHC

Transmission
Culhane Racing C4 w/ manual valvebody

Wheels & Tires

Nitto 35” Terragrapplers

ooooh la la looks good guys. should be pretty cool to watcht he build are you guys doing 100% of the build or just supplying the suspension?

**motoxscott** · 02-10-2009, 08:20 PM

Gregg at this point we're doing all the chassis fabrication side of it. As the project progresses we'll see if it gets wired and plumbed here and is running or just a roller.

**rharleyrider** · 02-11-2009, 11:29 AM

should be a cool build to watch.. They need to make a new class 8 style class like 7200 so people can build a full size with a v8

**jzaiden** · 02-11-2009, 05:06 PM

Will fit up to a 37" tire.

What is the purpose of bolting the plate to the frame then welding the tube to the plate? Why not just weld the plate? Does welding the plate put to much stress on the frame?

**jzaiden** · 02-11-2009, 11:40 PM

Those bolts hold the inner 3 link wishbone bracket. The plate you see will be welded to the frame. The nut coming through the plate goes through the heim.

X2. I always thought that you were supposed to box the frame. Are they really strong enough stock?

**vcyota92** · 02-16-2009, 09:46 PM

You are friends with Justin? He is going to have a really nice truck very soon!

**87-RANGER** · 02-16-2009, 09:54 PM

Bad ass! Jerry aren't you guys worried about the swingers dragging? j/k lmao!

**Alex_E** · 02-16-2009, 09:55 PM

Nice work on the a-pillar triangulation. That's exactly how I did mine; makes for great torsional rigidity.

**vcyota92** · 02-17-2009, 11:04 AM

Yeah i use to work with him and we went to school together. Makes me want to put a V6 back in mine before i finish it.

do it!!

**JakeP** · 02-17-2009, 03:11 PM

Why didn't you put the rear horizontal bar farther back to have more room in the "cab" area? Truck looks great!

**mcyota7200** · 02-17-2009, 03:43 PM

Who's body is that is it Boatec? Just wondering on those miter cuts where the tubes connect did you plate them and then weld them up, or just connect them and weld them up. Looks good cant wait to see more.
