Alright you guys talk about a rare truck. Well I'm going to offer this up as one I see discussed rarely. Additionally I have people at car shows want to angrily argue that Ford never made Rangers with these engines, but I've got receipts.
I present my 1983 Ranger with a 2.2L (4.135 Perkins/Mazda S2) diesel. My particular example is an XLT that has dual tanks and a long bed. It is also paired to a 4spd an 3.73 rear axle so its as slow as the tractor it sounds like putting around here on the MS coast.
As so many people wanted to argue that it was swapped I ran a Marti on it and found that about 8,300 were made. The only truck that is more rare is likely the 85-88 Mitsubishi turbo diesels paired with a 4wd drive train. Change my mind.
Also while I wouldn't want to sell it I am always open to do so... I love this truck, but in today's world she's almost impractical to daily with a 0-60 of 21 seconds.
