I picked this truck up for $800. I've had it for about two months now and just been too lazy and busy to put some pics up. Anywho, here's some stats: 1989 Ford Ranger XLT Long-Bed, Standard-Cab, 4X4, 5-speed manual, manual hubs, manual 13-50 t-case, 2.9 v6, all manual windows and doors, no A/C.

All I have done to it is hacked off the factory muffler that was rusted out (which somehow made it quieter. Guess there was a lot of resonance from that rusted P.O.S.), removed the sway-bar, and traded my rusted, bent chromies, for stock silver steel explorer wheels with 31X10.50X15 A/Ts on them. Faded, yes. Beat, hell no! Not a single dent or rust mark on the whole truck. Snag! All it needs is and intake manifold gasket (leaks oil out the back and down the tranny).

Anywho, I'll stop rambling:






Tell me what you think for $800???

I thought I got quite that deal on it. It's been a damn good truck in the last two months I've owned it. In the last two months I've put almost 8K on it and never had a problem. I take that back, I had to put a thermostat and new cap, rotor, plugs and wires on it. It also has a small leak in the radiator, but only when it's cold. That and the manifold gasket will get fixed soon.

Oh yeah, I broke a hub on that damn concrete pad my truck is flexed on up there. It always made noise, so it only had a little life left to begin with. It broke when I tried to climb it nose first in four-low, straight on at the corner.

Thanks. I have plans for it but no money. I might just buy a B2, and keep this my DD.
