I’m looking for an 83-84 Ranger with the perkins diesel, base model preferred, but must be a short bed model.

I’m going to make it bone stock, EXCEPT...

-Aluminum rear sliding window
-Maybe the cargo light
-Wood and stainless bed floor
-15” stock steel rims, with black lug exposed hub caps, stainless capped lug nuts
-Black paint under the body line by the door handles and tan paint above that. (Tan is lighter, so the cab won’t get as hot in the sun.)
-cone air filter on the intake and remove the air filter ducts and housing

A real classic look, it’ll be fun to drive!

A legend to the old man, a hero to the child...
Diesel rangers (espicially the 2.2) are rare.

Pry be easier to find a gas model and swap the perkolator in.

Are you still looking for a ranger? If not. Mind if I delete this post? Trying to clean up the for sale sections. Thank you.
