Damn! I like that truck. I love how original it is. Even more impressive that it's survived in Ohio.

Thanks, I’m the 4th owner and the truck was apparently in California for its early life and then garaged for about 20 years because of a wrongly rebuilt motor. The only major rust (not bad at all) is on the floor pans. Overall it’s in really good shape.

Dang, someone found the Ford accessory catalog back in the day...





The stripe kit may have been later, I don't so it in either my '85 or '87 catalogs.

The "white sport wheels" are factory too, my truck had them originally.

Any interior pics of this gorgeous truck?

Thanks for the accessory catalog that’s really cool. The brush guard wasn’t factory it was installed by the second owner a few years ago, and I just put the bed bar on this week. However I believe it was an original 80s ranger bed bar. I’m not sure if the brush guard is off another ranger but I was told it was off Toyota. I’m not sure how true that is because it looks identical to the factory ranger one. I’ll get some interior pics posted soon.

Before I I took a wire wheel and paint to it.

After.”. I still plan or replacing/ patching the floor pans, but they’re not in too terrible of shape right now so that will be a later project.
