anything is going to be better than the ranger if you want to work it.

The chevy is nice but spendy. cummins any year 94+ or 99+ 7.3L should give you a good bang for your buck. Hard to go wrong with any diesel.

If you don't have much money go look under the hood of the Chevy, Ford and Dodge and decide which one you would rather work on

Most of important thing is to find a good clean truck to start with.

A 95 Ford with a 7.3 were a decent truck. I would just leave the engine at stock power. A 99 7.3 you can get way more power.
