1990 Ford Ranger Custom Daily Driver.
Approximately 225 000km
Inspected until Nov 30, 2007
PLUS extra set of 15" Aluminum Ranger Rims (I've started buffing them with a wire brush, but you will have to finish them as you wish)
PLUS a new passenger side rocker to be installed by you.
PLUS the HAYNES MANUAL for this truck
PLUS Plastic Tool Box with tray and key
This was my daily driver until recently because I bought a new car.
This is a Valley truck it wasn't driven hard, it was used for a landscaping business. When I bought it it had been spray painted black, I since have stripped all of the flaking black down to the original blue on the sides then repainted the blue stripe. This was all done with spray cans, if the looks don't matter than you'll love it, besides it looks great at 30+ km. The interior looks good, I have replaced the carpet after welding in a new drivers side floor and patching the passenger floor. The floor is solid now and has been coated with a rubberized spray on the interior. The door bottoms are rusted bad which won't affect the safety but they really should be replaced (I've seen them for about $100/pr on here) The drivers door panel has slipped out of it's clip in the bottom corner, but it just needs to be remounted. This truck was smoked in heavily.
The steering is a little loose, as I have come to expect from old trucks, if you are familiar with the Army CUCV, it drives like that, little loose, lots of torque. This is not a fast truck (max 130kph) but it is reliable and I have hauled all kinds of stuff to my place that I could never have done with my car. The brakes are good.
The wheels on it are 14" Steelies with Beauty Rings. 2 Winters (approx 80% left) on rear 205/70/14 and 2x 195/60/14 all seasons in Front (approx 5% left)
If you pick the truck up now you could drive it safely until the end of November, although I would replace the front tires, they won't be good in the wet leaves. If you undercoat it it will last for a while, it's a strong driver and the body isn't too bad. Because it's a Ranger, parts are cheap and easy to find. This truck is very easy to work on.
I have a few more pics and could take more.
