Wow :blink: that truck is squeaky clean given its age and mileage... and it runs?

Better buy a lottery ticket, don't think you'll get that lucky again :P ;)

Nice find. How's the frame for a southern Ontario truck with that much mileage?

thanks guys

yea...the rotted frame thing has plagued me for 2 weeks...every truck i look at was rotted....this one looks A-OK....

just needs a lot of little parts to get her completely road worthy

the interior is almost show room quality. ...but VERY basic....has a radio...no CD or tape even [yes i DO have cassettes still...somewhere] roll up windows, manual mirrors.

:P Manual mirrors are a PITA in the Rangers, I went through 2 on my '92. The bushings get weak and they fold back in the wind and you end up with a new vanity mirror.
