Just can't get a good basic truck, like the old days!

Ford also put a diesel in their Rangers when they first came out.
I remember those. Friend of a friend, living on Vancouver Island, came across a pair of those, maybe 5 years ago. Got them for nothing, or next to.

If anyone could resurrect 'em (or, at least one), it is That Guy ^ ..... about 10 years ago, he brought back to completely operational-life, a big, very early diesel (circa WWII ?) Cat dozer, that he got either free, or for scrap-value.

I've half seriously considered bringing-in a 15+ y/o Land Rover from the UK. Used to be able to get them bare-bones, or with various levels of bling. What would be @ the top of my list is their 3+/- L diesel, with a stick. I wouldn't be hauling a loaded tri-axle with it here, but those things are legendary for what the police and military across the pond put them through.

Big-screen TV in the dash, and electric-______ scratchers, not on my Wish List..... though I have to admit that my lower back-muscles would vote for heated seats.
