My 92 Ranger project is a long way from complete but I've made good progress with parts from some donor trucks along the way. Working on the body mounts this week and then replacing all the bushings in the twin I-beam next week.




Already, I'm thinking of what color(s) to paint it when all the mechanical work is done. I seem to remember the Rangers of the late 80's having some nice two-tone paint jobs with some body striping to match.

Would like to see some pics from owners of those trucks. I'm thinking a blue/black or blue/silver combination would be nice but red/black or green/gold could be OK also. Having some good pics would help give the painter an idea what I'm after.

On another note, I don't know why these extended cab trucks weren't more popular. The extra bit of length seems to make them excellent riding machines on the highway which is just what I need it for. It's really too bad Ford stopped making true mini-trucks. Everybody should have one!

Look at Mini Truck of the Month Ranger owned by 'Cole' 'Dave'. That is the paint combo that a lot of Rangers came with some time back. Look at the Eddie Bauer Ford Explore. They came with a combo paint job. That is the only paint combos I can think of that you might be talking about. Try and Google Ford Ranger factory paint combinations and see what comes up under images.

This one is not exactly a stock 2-tone paint job, but similar to it. It always bugged me how the factory 2-tones didn't follow the body lines, so we did this one a little different when we repainted it back around 2000. The colors are the factory blue and silver from a 2-tone 1994 F-150 my dad had around that time.

Here is my 84....

Bright copper metallic and white. factory color. Around here I have only ever seen 1 other Ranger painted this color. A couple of BII's and 1 other 80's model 150. I re shot the cab and hood when I put the 347 in it. The bed is still the factory paint (yes I need the tape on the front fenders (brownish striping)
