Well as the title says i bought a new truck today. It's a 1986 Ford Ranger Carb'd 2.0 4cyl. with a manual transmission. Needs a bit of work, but I hope to have it up and running in no time. Right now it's not getting spark so I bought some parts tonight and I will start working on it this weekend. I will bring it home on Friday. I need new tires and it needs a real good cleaning. It's been sitting for a few years, but my friend had it running about a month ago. Enough of the babel, on with the pics!

 

nice! what are u plans? resto? low rider? rock crawler?

 

Nice deal. It looks to be pretty rust free too.

 

sweet! looks solid! did someone say V8 swap and solid axle?

 

That truck looks surprisingly rust free.
I cant wait to see it after you get her home and cleaned up!

 

very nice......good find

 

5.0 swap!

 

Plans are:
Clean it really really good
Get it running
Get tires
Paint roof
Flip shackles
Drive it

I really want to go back to school and this will be my dd. My commute will be over 40 miles. It'll get better mileage and handle the very windy mountain I will have to drive a lit better. My truck has over 110k on it already and I don't need it getting really worn out by driving the mountain twice a day.

 

Nice Mike!

 

Oh, I forgot to mention I only paid $100 for it.

 

sweet little ranger mike, i have always like dthe reg cab 2wd short beds, it will be a fun truck to rip around in. cheap price too

 

needs black paint beams and a flipkit...

 

cant beat 100 bucks for a solid truck cant wait to see it cleaned up

 

im jealous! i had an 85 looked almost identical and i gave it away!

 

WOW, $100 is a frickin steal man. Good find, can't wait to see it all cleaned up and on the road.

 

Sweet for 100. can't beat that

 

ditto, good luck with it

 

Theres a few around here I've been eyeballing. I don't need another vehicle though lol

 

You and me both. It's killing me not having it at the house yet and having parts to install already. I'm really itching to get it washed too! I know what I'll be doing all weekend.

 

Thats damn good for 100 bucks. How many miles?

 

Cant wait to see this thing cleaned up. Looks too be in pretty good shape.

 

i had a '85 2.0 ranger nice little truck, but very slow and completely stripped cab (no headliner or door panels, rubber seats, floor metal dash.. and that was factory!)

 

Lift it!

 

Awesome! It looks like it just needs washed, but that the body is in great shape

 

looks like i'm taking a road trip to georgia....
