1983 Ford Ranger 29K Miles!!

I'm the second owner of this truck, I bought it off of a neighbor who acquired it from the original owners I do not know how. Truck did change name of ownership under original owners (spouse to spouse). But the truck was never driven during the neighbors ownership (weeks). The truck is originally from New York State, Was purchased new by an older couple for the wife and was only used to go get groceries and run errands around town. When I first got it it only had 23k miles on it, that was early this spring. The truck is in excellent mechanical condition, probably could use a tune up, and the choke seems to be sticky at times and not let it idle down all the way. I was not concerned of the issue as I bought the truck for a project to swap my factory diesel into. I did daily drive the truck for work from late spring till the end of summer, never gave me an issue. I believe this is one of the best condition ORIGINAL rangers you will find out there. The bolts in the bed still look like new. the interior is perfect except for the dash from sun beating on it for 30 + years. The exterior is in very good condition for it's age. I believe there's two tiny dings in the passenger fender, but other than spots where paint has flaked or rocks chipped truck looks very close to new. The underside of the truck has very slight surface rust. Frame and cab are solid, bed is basically new. Truck is a base model has no power-steering, no A/C, no radio. It's quite the nice summer cruiser. 4 Speed on the floor shifts like new, clutch has a lot of life left in it. If you have any questions or would like more pictures please ask.
