I found this on Facebook Marketplace and thought it was pretty cool. I inquired about it and asked for some more pictures and details. My first thought was that it is another RDI Ranger but after seeing better pics, I'm thinking it's not and it was just someone's creation. I don't know much about it - other than what you see. Allegedly it's a 1986 but it's got a 2nd gen dash and supposedly a 3.0 engine so I'm guessing it was put together with a bunch of spare parts like my stepside truck was. The seller said her parents got it at a car auction but they know the previous owner and that person lived somewhere in northern South Dakota.

Anyway, enjoy, I told the seller that I'd post a link to the ad so here that is. Currently at $5500 which I feel is a pretty fair price for what it appears to be. As far as I can tell the truck is located in Winner, SD (south central part of the state.)

For fun here's the RDI Ranger that I thought it closely resembled. This one is missing the snap on top, rear seats, roll bar, and "trunk" thing that RDI made, thus why I'm convinced that this is just a one off made by someone else.

I never heard about RDI. Thanks for posting.
 
Cool. Very weird.
 
I see they shaved the side windows, good thing they kept the locks! :)
