You never get back what you put into a car or a truck, but if you can get another ten or twenty years out of yours, then you will be much better off than if you bought something new. The price tag for those repairs and upgrades is adding up very fast, but still considerably less than buying new and losing $ on depreciation.
Some cars and trucks just aren't worth the fixing, of course. Restoration and repair can be good money after bad, In my opinion, this is not the case with a Ranger unless the frame is rusted out.
Insurance is another question. You can always get some sort of classic car insurance if you like. I would not. I would rather spend that money on larger tires, better brakes, bigger better fog lights, and stiffer sway bars: all of which will make for a safer ride.
