FNG trying to get it together

[matencio]

Hey from Ruston / Monroe Louisiana. Just bought a 96 Ford Ranger 5 speed for $500.00. Yup, it's got some issues. I need to find some OEM 14 x 6 rims, change a power steering pump and probably some other things I don't know about yet... I was glad to find a forum about the truck because it's going to be my project truck. I don't want to lift it or anything, just restore it to running like a new truck would. It's got 196,000 plus (odom don't work anymore) and it sat for a year and a half before being started again. Runs great, no smoke so I got a hell of a deal. I'm here to: fix the truck, change the grill (what other year models will swap out with a 96 front grill?) and see if I can find some rims and get help fixing it.
Nice to meet everyone.

Yes, howdy and welcome...

I have a 96 also and the power steering on that is leaking also...not sure if I'm going to keep the PS yet...but I did get a spare pump with the truck...

Have fun and I'm sure you will find any help if you need it...

14" deer hoof style. Welcome to TRS!

While that does seem to be a good price, I believe they'd be slightly out of the way for the OP.
