ford never put a dual axle under the ranger...it was most likely the conversion kit that you can get from jc-whitney and such.

I saw an x-cab dually last friday at a pub near my jobsite that we hit for lunch. Forget whether it was a gen 1 or 2 but it had a typical box on it (as opposed to a custom flatdeck like in the pix above).

My credo
A legend to the old man, a hero to the child...
I seen a dually ranger the other day. It was all beat to hell and had a service box on it. I really doubt it was a conversion.

I asked a guy i work with who has seen\owned damn near every Ford under the sun.....and he said a girl he went to school with had one.

later,
Dustin

not tru....there were plenty that came from the factory with a dually back...but they were all for commercial use and they usually were so beat on they got crushed few years after they were made, but most had utility beds and not a standard bed on them....

no, the "incomplete vehicles" as they were called (chassis cab rangers) came with a single wheeled, 28 spline 8.8 in back (the 86-88 axles where the only 8.8's without a provision for a speed sensor).

My 1985 brochure shows the chassis cab trucks with only single rears. Even the heaviest Ranger is much lighter a F-150/250, and both of those have single rear tires, with at most 160hp on tap in a Ranger there just isn't the capacity to justify it. They make conversion kits, which people like to try to pass off as being original.

That isn't to say that there wasn't a company that made them out of normal trucks (like the soft top Sharrod BII's)
