Bought another RBV after 15 years

[Boltz1011]

Used to be around here years ago when I had a few bronco 2s. Bought a new to me Ranger today. 1986, 2wd single cab short bed with a carbureted 2.3L. Needs engine work but has no rust and needs minimal other work. Has a custom interior that also needs some attention. Engine has a Holley carb and pace setter headers. The video of it running sounded like it had a cam maybe? American racing wheels. Nice little truck with a straight clean body. Might be a good 302 candidate if the 2.3 is too far gone. Apparently it blew a head gasket and he replaced the head gasket and it blew again so he sold it.

That's pretty darn clean, especially for a 40 year old truck. Congrats!

Sweet ride. Somebody had some time invested. Especially in that interior.

That truck is BEGGING for a 2.3 turbo engine from a Thunderbird Turbocoupe.

OR sell it to me immediately? That might save you a lot of trouble..

Guys, he said he was giving it to me. I'm not sure exactly where... But I'm certain it's up there somewhere...

Doesn't look like the PO was afraid to spend money on it...

That's a sweet project you drug home.

Be sure to share it's journey.
