Wow, a Ranger 4 speed. Now I am drooling. Kinda partial to Rangers in case nobody knew, :wink: . Too bad about the cab. It looks pretty rotten. Tailgate looks good though. Wish I could save them all :roll:

What a shame they took a nice dry truck and ran it in the salt for 10 years. :cry:
It's a race.. Will hell freeze over or will JC finish his truck first. Stay tuned..

Ok, which one of you wise guys told him he has a "Dana 60.2"?? :laughing:

That's too bad it's so rusty, but at least the Ranger specific stuff looks to be in good shape. :D And the tailgate looks awesome!

The A/C very well could be a dealer-install... I've heard rumors that they had special 4-speed shifters like that one for A/C-equipped trucks, but never saw one until now. I converted to C-6 automatic for the Rotunda A/C box I'll be running in my Ranger, originally NP435. The 5-lug Dana 60 is pretty rare, isn't it? I've heard they had'em. This was really a great truck in it's day.

Has anyone else noticed the "buy it now" is $2700. I put it on my watch list out of curiosity and there it says $2700. That tells me this will be a no-sale!

Considering the condition of the rest of the truck and how rare Rangers are, a good cab is pretty cheap.

I dont think that $2700 would be out of the question, yeah the cab is rusty but I imagine that the bed is in really good shape, although that would require a carful under side inspection since the cab is so rusty. Like Greg said the cab is cheap to replace and its likly that the truck would require a tear down anyway! Cool truck and definily had a nice option list!

Ranger options?

Post by sbugalla »

Beautiful truck! Another inspiration.
Would someone be so kind as to give me an idea what are some of the Ranger options. Still new to all of this and I'm curious.
Thanks

As you can see in the Ebay picture, the truck comes with factory bucket seats and a centre console. The buckets are from a 66 Mustang and the console is from a 64 Falcon. Seat tracks are unique to the Slick. "Rangers" were found on twin I beam trucks however it has been brought forward that some 64s were equipped with bucket seats. Our favorite example of that is Doug's 64 Ranger. BTW, welcome to the club. No guarantees that there is a cure for this sickness! 8)

If anyone wants the truck and needs a cab I have an extra. I wonder how solid the doors are? I think that is a fair price if someone wanted a RESTORED Ranger. Think of how hard it is to come up with all the parts and then still not have a Ranger. But I agree that it will likely not sell. :(
