Hey folks, new Ranger owner here. I just picked up a '94 standard cab 4 cyl 5 speed base model truck for $400. It was work every penny of $300 
She's beat, dirty, been totaled, had bad tires on her, crappy rusted chrome wheels, nasty interior and best of all 221K miles. No power options, besides brakes, but hey it had a CD player in it! kinda...
Well, that's the bad. The good is it runs nearly perfect after a tune-up. Replaced all 8 plugs, wires, O2, oil pressure sensor, water temp sensor and switch.
I just picked up the Opal grey interior from a '93 XLT that was in the wrecking yard and a new 40 series flowmaster for $150ish (mine is already opal grey inside)
Put some new used tires on it and am pulling down between 20-25 mpg. I need to remove the silencer from the intake and change out the cat converter still.
I'll post up pics later
