Rearview Mirror - 1988 Ranger XLT

[cjh44]

Recently bought my fourth ranger - a 1988 XLT. Hoping to restore it back to original as much as possible. Bought this one because the interior is in great shape and very little rust. Been working on the interior while my mechanic handles the suspension and engine.

The rear view mirror was off when I bought it and one was in the cab but had the foggy black spots that seems to happen to the mirrored surface over time. Also not sure this is even the original mirror. Because I'm installing OEM parts as much as possible, I'm reluctant to slap an autozone replacement or even one from LMC.

Does anyone have the specs for the original Ranger 1988 XLT mirror? 8", 10" ? Also looking for a source. I haven't been able to find any on eBay for the 80s and I'm not sure its the same as the '89+ models.

Hoping to save myself a trip to the junkyard. Appreciate any help or thoughts.

Thanks,
Cody

There's a few folks on here that frequent their local junkyards.. perhaps some teamwork can happen and one of them can snag you one on their next trip.


It would help if I actually remembered who the members were -__- lol.

Appreciate the responses.

But any idea on the size? Also prefer original for quality. But seems that the mirroring goes to sh*t on the originals after a while.

If anyone has a lead on a junkyard 1980s ranger with the maroon interior, would be appreciated. I'm located in NYC but go back to PA regularly, plus willing to travel. Been calling around without much luck. Would love to track down a handful of interior trim parts but planned to post on that later.

One step at a time...
