It looks pretty clean and I think the guy is full of crap on a lot of stuff. Plus the fact I don't think he turned a wrench on the truck so of course it was expensive to "restore". Also pretty sure those are HD-150 take offs with adapters...bet they are custom alright. Offer him $3500 and see if he bites.

If you put a lift and 35's that thing would be awesome. It is clean though just a little bit pricey.

And he has the guts to say "No Dreamers!" Think he is off by at least a factor of four on several of the item prices listed.

But it isn't even a 4X4.... LOL

Any way you slice it the guy is nuts. That truck probably blue books at what maybe $2500.

He is also a victim or maybe in this case a perpetrator of the ''Find a bigger fool.'' theory.

Its a very clean truck, but I agree with $2500. I like what he did, but that thing would be a great candidate for an SAS. It would look awesome on 35s and 1 tons lmao!

I should also add that it needs 5" chrome stacks with flappers and...



Edit: I hate the powder blue interior...

Probably best to only hook one pipe up and drill holes in the cap so you don't snuff out the candle though...

:icon_rofl:

You raise an excellent point lol.

And to make this correct, the sticker should say "Mitsubishi Diesel" instead of Powerstroke.

I really like that truck. I like the bed. If I still had my 86 standard cab Ranger I think that would look really great on it. I only know one buddy who had a turbo diesel and loved it. He put over 300,000 miles on his Ranger and never had any issues with the motor or trans. We don't always get back what we put into our rides as you know. I know a lot of us on this site have put a bunch of money in our rides and we don't get it back. I would give him $5,000 for the truck if it is in as good of shape as he says it is. There is a lot of work in it and the turbo diesel engine would be a great toy to have. I know it is a 2wd and it can be used for a lot of stuff (cool vintage MX and roadrace bike carrier)!!!
