Ok so I"ve been talking to this girl about her 85 ranger that she has for sale (for $700) ..and this is what she said is wrong with it:
Alignment
Valve cover gasket
Dropping the pitman arms and i beams?
Ok I'm no expert here, I know I can do the valve cover gasket, and the alignment is no biggie...but what about the pitman arms and i beams? she says that when it was lifted, they (the people she bought it from), didn't get longer bars to drop the pitman arms or i beams so it cambered the tires funny. she says it's a cheap and easy fix, but seeing as i'm pretty new to the truck world, how cheap and easy is it? or is it fine the way it is/i dont need to drop the pitman arms and i beam?
Here's all of the other info about the truck:
4 cylinder, 4WD (rebuilt 4 cylinder was put in after the original 6cylinder ceased)
4" suspension lift on 32s
the truck comes with cb radio, tool box with tools, cd player, new speakers, new battery, alternator, plugs and wires, cap and rotor
what do you guys think, how much more money would i be putting into the truck if i bought it? (fixing the cambered tires, alignment, gasket) thanks everyone for putting up with me haha
