Hello all, new to this forum and looking for some opinions on how much this truck is worth.
I have a 1988 Ford Ranger STX extended cab 4x4 5-speed manual with the 2.9l V6 engine. Miles shown on dash are around 60k miles but the odometer has rolled and least once so it has at least 160k. I put another used 2.9l V6 with 75k miles on it into the truck because the old motor lost oil pressure unfortunately. Replaced head gaskets on new motor and heads were milled and valves checked.
Many many new parts including brake lines, front brake hoses, clutch, power steering pump, radiator, battery, front wheel bearings, front axle shaft u-joints, rear driveshaft u-joints, rear shocks, front coils, parking brake cables, and a lot more.
The body is rusty but not rotted away yet. Front drivers side fender was cut out by previous owner to make way for some new bigger tires but he ended up selling the truck to me instead of completing the project. Box/bed supports have surface rust but are solid, but the rest of the box is shot.
I am considering trying to save the cab by repainting it, and taking the bed off and making a flatbed for it, but i don't know if it's worth it.
like to hear some thoughts.
Its not a looker but reads like a runner, lots of newer parts
At 33 years old the miles are not really important and the condition wouldn't support "low miler" status, lol
Running pickups rarely drop below $800
With working 4WD add $500
Ask $1,500, take what you feel is fair
But pickup prices very widely by area
So best gauge for "asking price" is local autotrader and craigslist
And when you decide on a price post it on Ranger forums with location(city, state)
There are "for sale" sections on this site and other Ranger sites

Thanks for the feedback. I will post it on the forums if I decide to sell it.
