Hi I got a 91 Ranger xlt regular cab. It's a 3.0 m5od all stock. This thing turned into a hell of a project.
When I got it, it had one shitty spray paint black. I got tired of it and also thought how much I hate rust. Thus I began a complete exterior sand down/rust removal.
Right now the thing is like three colors. The only spots I didn't get around to sanding is behind the rear bumper and there's some rust I still need to remove off the tail gate. (I wanna use the old FORD logo, not the chrome). The only rust that was more than surface is two holes above the rear wheels and two tiny holes behind the rear tire. The lip around the wheel well is still even all intact. I started some bondo then stopped when I had to take it in for inspection. Turns out the rad support is shot as well as a leaf spring shackle that has a rust crack going 2/3 through it. Nice one.
I notice there's rust a little more north of the rad support so some custom work might be required for this.
Here's some pics of how she sits now. Sorry Idk why my camera waas set so slow.
