Bought an early second generation Ranger (it's TTB with a pushrod 4.0L, sorry I didn't get the year... yet) for scrap price. Good body, 5spd manual, manual shift t-case (IIRC) that's been parked for a decade plus due to unknown to the current owner why. I'd figure blown head gasket/cracked head due to previous experience with these engines, but I don't know for sure. Could be anything. Going to pick it up this weekend sometime.
So, what's broken? Winner get's my undying (well, about a week anyway) respect. (semi-troll way of fishing for weak points that I need to look at, my experience with this era Ranger is somewhat limited)
I'm going with my first guess, cuz why would you park a fairly clean and relatively rust free X-cab 4x4 Ranger for anything less.
ETA: I'll document me resurrecting this thing here if y'all don't run me off for not being a 'true' "FORD guy"
