Help deciding

Hey guys! My main car broke down and its an impossible to work on 05 lincoln aviator. I'm planning on scrapping it and I've found there are a few older trucks in my area that I could actually afford. I've found two that look interesting and I have no idea which would be the better option. There's an '83 ford ranger which looks nicely kept and it's a manual which is always more fun. And on the other hand there's an '82 F150 which has a nicer body style in my opinion and bulkier but looks like it might need more work.

No title on the Ranger. No deal. Don't solve his "problem " for him.

He's going to add an electric fuel pump to the F150. No. That's not a repair, it's a band-aid.

If the Ranger is actually his truck, and he doesn't owe money on it, (lien on truck), he can get his own title.

If the other runs so good, why does he need to put a fuel pump on it?

That's like, "It ran like new when we parked it in the field 20 years ago. Just needs a battery and gas", Right....
