This truck appears to be all factory but the muffler. I purchased this beast from a Ford enthusiast who purchased it from the original owner. The mileage I cannot confirm but the seat is in great shape and the foam is not worn. The Ranger is Equipped with the 351 motor and heavy duty 3 speed automatic tranny with a Dana 60 Rear end. This truck came factory with A/C, power steering, cruise control, power disk front brakes and radio with all gauges and dual tanks. All the gauges work but the fuel gauge due to that tank being not in operation. The factory tanks were dirty and the previous owner put a 6 gal marine tank in the back of the bed. The truck runs very well with no crazy issues that might be present with a 40 yr old truck. Also every light works except the dome light due to no bulb, LOL, even the horn works. As I can tell every piece of trim and emblems are present. The truck drives very well and stops straight with no pulls. I went over the truck and many parts have been replaced on the electrical side of the house that would most likely need to be; I replaced the air filter and breather filter. The battery is 2015 with no current issues or charging problems.

The brake light is on in the dash and I believe its just the sensor or dirt unless its time to bleed the brakes all the way, I sucked out the fluid in the reservoir and put new fluid in. The tires were replaced in 2004 which the receiptif there, so they are dry rotted granted the thread is good so thats the only real rough ride issue. The truck has some rust as to be expected, common places the good old cab corners, driver side is worse than the passengerand inside the door right were the seam is, so in my mind that works out, needs to be replaced anyway. Furthermore, under the window is a rust area that will need to be repaired. really this truck is very solid and in great shape from what I normally see. The interior is in pretty good condition, dash not cracked and everything is there, both door panel arm rests will need to be replaced along with some clips. There is detailed pictures and a 3 minute video that will be attached, you will need to copy and paste it to your browser/search bar. Along with a few shorter videos of driving the truck.
The truck also has the plug on the side for the camper and the storage area on the other along with the bed liner and a fifth wheel / ball for a camper. And the factory wheel covers.

If you need help with shipping I have the contact number for a shipping company that I have used myself alot along to people who have purchased from me in the past.
