Hello and thank you all for the help!

[BrooksK]

I am a little slow to the intro post, but here it is. I'm happy that I found an active Ranger board. This is my 1996 Ranger (2WD 2.3 5spd) that I have had for 25 years. It recently hit 400,000 miles and I have decided to restore it with no plans of ever selling it. I'm happy to meet everyone. Thank you to all who have helped me so far. I look forward to seeing all of your Rangers.

Just needs a modern powerplant if you wish to work on it. .

Only resto that thing needs is probably a fresh rebuild with that kind of miles on it. Sharp looking truck.

The interior has lived its life, and a bunch of other little things like minor rust spots, original windshield full of cracks and stars, peeling paint, and other things that come with age.

As for the modern power plant, I am heavily leaning towards a K20 Swap.
