My first ranger.

[pcollins]

Is for sale on craigslist. It was my first vehicle and first ranger...paid $725 for it and drove it for about 3 years. Sold it and got an F150 for about 6 months then went back to an '11 ranger. Kinda wish I hadn't just blown $1200 on a trip to florida. I'd probably buy it back. Miss that truck. Link below to the ad. Hes actually dropped the price $500. I'm not sure why everything in the rear end had to be replaced. The axles etc. were in great shape when i sold it. Fresh brakes, seals, and gear oil and nothing leaked.

Anyone else ever see their old trucks or any vehicle for sale around town?

yep.....I saw my '41 pickup a few years ago....I sold it in 1985....the same guy still owns it.

Sharp lookin truck. you got that for $725 several years ago? That was a good deal!

yea, picked it up from my shop teacher. Had to put a clutch and slave in it plus a bunch of other stuff over time but i beat the crap out of it and it really never let me down. I blacked out the fender flares, touched up the rust, put the 4x4 emblem on the back and installed new foglights. only thing i never got around to painting was the valence where the fog lights are. i really hope he doesn't go down to $1500 cause then i might just have to buy it...

that is a nice looking truck. If I didn't have my own 97 and lived closer, I would go for it.

It looks real good from the outside, but once you crawl under it you might think twice I know for a fact that the rad cradle is completely gone. Rotted away. Even knowing that I still want it back lol. I just miss that drivetrain....4.0 push-rod with the M5od...the transfer-case was electronic but that's easily fixable and it has manual hubs.

EDIT: he deleted the ad. Either sold it or is reposting it. I'll update the link if i happen to see it again.

What year was your first ranger?

 

[pcollins]

It was a '97 XLT.

We had another thread like this. It's always a shame when you see it up for sale. The only thing worse is when you can tell it wasn't taken care of. The only thing constant in this world is change *shrug*
