then i traded that for a wrecked 95 ford ranger Plus some cash and another 2000 ranger.. fixed up the white ranger

( rear ended and front end wreck plus it didnt run) and painted it and then traded it for this 97 F250.

Shes a beater heres a list of things it needs:

Its alright. I miss the ranger more.
