Spent my afternoon pulling the motor from the ranger and checking it over. Found I had popped 2 freeze plugs over the winter. Thought I had drained the motor, must have left some water in the block, doh! Pulled the pan and top end, all looks good and clean inside. So back together it goes with some extra stuff to make it even faster

Don't know anybody with one, but I can tell you that a early 80's step bed looks really good on a 79 short bed truck. Might make your search a little easier.
