Picked up an 87 Ranger XLT 2WD with a manual trans last night for $500. It cranks, but doesn't start. The truck as a whole is in pretty good shape.
Bought the truck with the idea to be a decent pal around daily that I can learn to weld on, since some rust needs to be repaired.
My current daily is a 99 K2500 with a 454, so gas is not it's friend. I also have a 68 Cougar XR7 that I am working on restoring as well.
Going to spend some time this weekend diagnosing the no start condition. I think it's fuel pump related, so we shall see.
