Didn't realize those two-piece inner flaps weren't stock on all the rangers (and ford pickups in general). Trouble is, that overlapping design at the top tended to trap mud and leaves and crap, leading to near-inevetable rustout at the tops of the wheel arches...

One alternative would be to snag a nice set of fenders with flares (hopefully in a suitable color) and just transfer them onto your truck...

Had a 93 mustang with a 8-plug 2.3 (dual coil packs). Think the 2nd set of plugs fired a little later - meant to scavenge unburnt fuel. Pretty crowded changing plugs!

Well sir, If you did make your way up into the North-west country, between 1990RangerinSask and myself, we'd definitely try to have coffee waiting for you. whatever route you took! (and some other Ford/ranger fans in western Canada

Well that would have been about 1947 so I'm thinking that Ford would've been 14 or 15 years old, probably. Just for the record, the 49 Chev got used pretty heavy (when the folks first married in '52 it was their only vehicle til a few years later they bought a 35 Chev Master 4-door off some...

Well, going by the pics from the links you posted (Tasca), Bolt 1 is #12 in the picture (click the diagram at the bottom to get the note), which would make Bolt 2 #11 (the front, longer bolts):

Had a 88 ranger with a 2.9 blew its manual 5 speed. It wasn't worth fixing, but had a decent running engine so I stripped it for parts. Have an OK 87 Ranger which had a bad A4LD automatic transmission and a worn-out 2.9 that I had pulled the engine and trans out out and found a rebuilt A4LD...

Ok going to assume at first you are FI and have only one tank - if you have a dual tank pipe up and we'll cover it but it will add more stuff and complicate the explanation. So single tank ranger system vintage 86-88 will have a (fuel) lift pump (low pressure in the tank. Looking at the inside...
