Give 'yer balls a tug. Fight me.
So, I lost out on an eBay truck thanks to a dishonest seller.

Search continues for a donor truck for a rust free donor cab / body for a first gen. Extended cab only and must be RUST FREE - as in , NO RUST. Desert patina is fine.

Willing to travel anywhere in the USA for pickup.

Feel free to leave ebay ads, classifieds here for me. I rarely search around.

If this is up, I'm still looking.

I quit FB a long time ago, but I would see all gen Rangers on there. If you find one within 99 miles of me ( Tallahassee FL ) I'd go check it out for you.

There's a yard out where I'm at in central/eastern NC that has multiple first gens, some extneded cabs, with no rust. Can't speak for Body straightness, and they probably wont be able to be titled, if thats what youre looking for, but they ARE there. Cox Auto in Elm City.

Cab or full body?

I'm not making any promises, but there is an 88 extended cab I've considered picking up for parts.There's a bunch of pieces I would want, including interior, HVAC parts, and dual tank bed w/ related components. I wouldn't need the cab structure, drivetrain (2.9 auto), or chassis (2wd). I've probably even got another short bed I could drop on it, but the colors wouldn't match.

I'm not saying that it will happen, there are other things that require the finances and time first. Also trying to get the property cleaned u psome before adding more junk to it. If it does happen it would be located in the Middle GA area. If that's not too far I'll keep you in mind when/if it happens.

Middle ga is fine. Cab is most needed, bed would be nice as well - would be easier than paying someone to put the fender patches in the one I have.

As long as it's a rust/rot free one, I'm in.
