I found a 1984 Ford Ranger 2.2 Perkins diesel for sale near me. Body is in rough shape, motor runs good and the original 4-speed manual has been swapped for a newer 5-speed from an RX-7. They’re asking $1500 obo. Would this be a decent buy for a project, or do you think parts availability and sourcing a new bed and hood would outweigh any benefits?
