My sister was browsing the local CL and found my old 1996 STX that I sold 11 years or so ago when I finished my 2001 I have now. I LOVED this truck and I wish I could have kept it along with my 2001, this truck was a peach. It got a fresh repaint before it was sold because it was keyed while I owned it, this thing had not a bit of rust on it and was fully loaded. Had 131,000 miles on it when I sold it. I wish I had an extra $2K hanging around just to buy this thing back.

96 ford ranger stx zero rust!

 

Haha that's awesome!

A buddy of mine had an OHV, and it lasted forever.

 

I'm curious how many miles were on the motor before its rebuild.

 

I didn't know you had a truck before the 01

 

I had two Rangers before the 01, a 1986 4x4 and then this 1996 STX. I've owned 5 rangers in total.

 

Maybe he'll take an even trade? Haha

 

Ha! I don't want it that bad lol

 

This is the last known picture I have of this truck before I sold it, fresh paintjob.

 

Finds like this are always cool. It still looks nice too.

 

Im surprised, that thing has to have close to 300K on the body by now, had 131K on it when I sold it, I used to see the old man driving it around town that I sold it to.

 

haha thats pretty awesome

 

So you sold it to an old man?

That's probably why it is still in good shape.

 

Yeah, but the last time I saw it on the road there was a younger guy driving it.

 

I had a similar 97, wish I would have never wrecked it!

 

Id like to run into my first ranger (91 4wd) Doubt it will ever happen.

Cant believe its still in that good of shape
