Sounds like me haha.
Thats where it gets tough, finding something running and driving in the flathead era. Not impossible.
Sure would be easier if you wanted to drive around in a grain truck!!

It was made by Mazda for Ford before they had Rangers, while it was Japanese it wasn`t ugly especially when compared to the early S10`s......
