Hey! New guy from Northville here
I’m a new guy here from Northville. I’m looking forward to getting my “new to me” 1981 Ranger F350 XLT dually back on the road after 20+ more years of sitting. I’ve been told it’s a pretty “rare” find also, I don’t know though. Tell me what you think. 43,000 miles and 99% original. It has some rust but to be honest it’s rock solid for a Michigan truck. Plus I think the rust and patina gives give it character. I’ll probably just clean it up a bit and spray some sealer on it.

Welcome! I grew up in Northville, lived there until moving to South Lyon a couple years ago. I can't speak on exact rarity, but you sure don't see many trucks like that around anymore, especially a dually.
I miss seeing the white with red center stripe OBS trucks that McDonald Ford used to have, especially in a dually. There's an SRW like that for sale along Beck right now, north of 96. I just wished I thought to go ask for a McDonald Ford license plate frame before they went out.

Ive got another 85 Dually just like for sale. I think the 81 has more character though.

Actually live in South Lyon but Northville mailing address lol. I’m going going to Beck and 96 tomorrow. There’s are real cool ammunition store by there if your into that stuff. I’ll keep my eye open for that truck. Probably at Lingenfelter Performance Engineering building. I’ve seen some clean trucks out there from time to time. Always way out of my price range.

I've seen that red obs for sale as well, definitely not at Linginfelter, but haven't stopped to look either.

Huron Valley is my FFL. The place is amazing. I would buy my stripped AR lower when they were in Milford.
ive seen some pretty cool trucks outside of the Avanti dealer on Beck North of 96 south of west road on the west side. Thought that might be the place. I believe they have/had cars and coffee there before.
Ive also saw some pretty cool thing at the bakers car show off Milford road. I hit that place up a few times a year with the 66 Impala SS.
