Default Noob with an '86

Hey all, I'm Jimmy, 36, from Eugene/Treasure Valley, OR; just picked up an '86 Ranger for $800(down from $1,000)... it's the 4x4, with the 2.9L V6 w/5sp...new motor with 43k miles; gave her an oil change yesterday, and the front differential/transaxle oils are ok, while the rear differential/transfer case oil needs replaced ASAP....muffler was not hooked up, but it's blown apart at the header anyways...but it's all good. So far, nothing else seems to be off. My gal said the clutch MIGHT be on it's way out....but...the interior is in such great shape, no odors...I am the third owner; first was an old guy who's had it since it came out, and then sold to another farmer down the road a few years ago...never been in a wreck...meh. Not sure what else to put haha. Anyways. I'm in you now
