For those that don't FB:

"850.00 OBO. Grandfather's work truck, has been sitting for 20+ years. Doesn't start, or have emissions. Must tow away. "
Mileage listed is "353,219"

I got excited at how clean it was (structurally not the trash in the cab) until I saw the odo pic and realized...
that is 35,321.9 so might be a 100k, 200k, 300k truck and some gen AA doesn't know how to read old odo's.

Super Cabs started in 1986, so it's an '86, '87 or '88.

2WD, XLT trim, manual trans, manual windows/locks and AC would be a plus to me (even not working); 2WD probably wouldn't to most others.

I hope it goes to a good home.

Damn. colorado.
my first ranger was a ‘88 2wd supercab. Had 98K on it when I bought it and 3 years later it made another trip around the dial and it had 203K when I traded it in. Was a 2.3/5 speed/3.73 Did alot with it, my favorite though was the 93 4.0 4wd. Put over 100K on it too.

is that "damn colorado" an exclamation of frustration at the distance, the price, or the lack of rust?

 

[racsan]

distance. I bet its really a ‘88. When I bought my ‘94 it was advertised as a ‘97. So many people don’t know what they are selling. And its even worse with the old ford tractors.

being in the snowbelt I figured it was for the rust...

Id buy it in a heartbeat if it was a 2.9 and not clear across the US
