1st gen rangers/ RBV
After reading comments on here about 1st gen RVB's getting hard to find due to getting crushed or turned into rock buggys or truggys.
I see them abandoned in field, driveways,backyards..etc. all over the place here. Alot of good parts left, straight sheetmetal, good interiors, etc... probably sitting due to bad engines or whatever.
So I have a question....IS there a market out there for factory 1st gen stuff?
Will there ever be a market for them like other old trucks? ( 69-79 ford trucks? or 62-66 or -67-72 chevy c10)
I see people restoring these trucks, searching all over for a good "rust free" cab...or one with less rust than the one they have.
I also watch them search and search for body parts or complete truck beds.
Will rangers ever get to that level?
Company's like LMC already have aftermarket stuff.
Would it be worth the time and money to purchase these dead trucks and part them out and save the good parts? Sell them on Ebay or C-list?
I have 5 acres and a large barn for storage, but I am not looking or wanting to start a ranger graveyard.
