i found awk08 on fordrangerforum.com lol. This is the truck im trying to buy now. it would be a project truck that runs and drives, then i will just keep my car right now. The plan is lift it get 33 to 35'' tires and fix rust then put primer on it and have fun. in the long run i was thinking ford 302, bedline bottom half and white up top. guy hasnt replied to the email i sent him the other day or my text earlier today...

looks quite rusty for my likings. and i would also go with a slightly newer model even if you just want to hack at it

Actually the chassis on those 80's rangers were extremely good. They lend themselves to wild mods and handle extreme stress.

I certainly wouldn't give him 900 for it though. I'd have a hard time giving 600.
 
I was planning on around 700 for it. i love the square bodied vehicles though. I would only give him 7 for it if it ran drove and shifted good, other than that i prolly wouldnt buy it. Gonna try calling this jack wagon and see what happens. it would be my fun truck and i would use my car (2002 ford escape) to get around out of town.
