Umm...... need some more details on the truck, like milage, condition, etc.... I'd say 1,500 would be the MOST I'd pay for a decent condition truck thats almost as old as I am...

Is it a 4x4? If not I say under 1,000 bucks.

If it's not rotted and the V8 conversion is well done it'd be worth at least $3000 bucks in Upstate NY. You looking to sell or buy?

 

[Daggar]

This should probably be in talk but... I agree with tjm... if it was loved (like folks love their Stangs) and well taken care of; $3000 is certainly not allot for one of those.

I just got a 83' Ranger with a F150 5.0L in it and C4 tranny. Its very quick little truck and a sleeper. I'm looking to put some Southside Machine ladder bars on it with some very tall and wide tires on the rear and hope it will hook a little bit

As of right now I can be rolling along doing 50mph and get in it and make the rear break loose.

Nothing like pulling up at a red light thou and reving it and seeing people's expression as the whole front end lifts and tilts like mad bwahahhahahahaha.

My brother is building an '88 ranger with a 418W.......should be pretty sick.

Good luck on getting it to hook


Anyone have any ideals on what works with these thing? So far I'm thinking the ladder bars and a 29" tall tire thats 8 - 10" wide...

 

[tjm73]

He's running 30" tall drag radials (345/55R15 on 15x10 wheels) with a semi-experimental traction bar setup that works in conjuction with relocated stock leaf springs.

Nice tire size

I had some of the local stock car racers tell me a triangle shaped ladder bar setup will make the rear squat.
I'm not sure about it but I know Southside Machines make some nice ladder bars.
