Anybody in the Lebanon, Ohio area willing to take a look at a truck for me?

Being a 6 hour drive, I'd prefer to have some boots on the ground as it were beforehand.
I'd be willing to pay for your time. Feel free to pm me.
Thank you,
Mike

Against my better judgement, I drove down there and bought it. This thing is a rustbucket.
This is gonna be a long build...

It's beautiful on the outside though.

If I would've seen this thread earlier, I could've looked at it. It's about an hour from where I live.

That's alright. It was a good road trip anyways. I'm not sure I would've made the drive if I saw how it looked ahead of time.
It'll take some time and money, but I'll have her better than new again.

Oh the joys of the salt belt...

If I ever build another Ranger... I'm gonna have to go south to buy one to start with. I've dealt with the rust thing my entire life... and it's becoming apparent on my 06.

It's so brutal. Ohio seems to be a mixed bag though. I've seen some super clean examples, and some swiss cheese trucks.
I'm hoping to find one down south with a blown motor.
