It looks good! Besides the flat bed, lol.

I don't think puting it back on the road would be too bad either. You've gotta admit though - theres something cool about a 1st gen!

Thing is, These trucks aren't getting any newer....

yea the flatbed with be going as soon as I can find a bed for it, probably already by on the road by then of course lol. And yes they're not getting any newer, my 86 is starting to nickel and dime me, it's going to need a starter pretty soon

those were on when i bought the truck and were soon taken off lol. I put 2nd gen tan door panels on it to match the dash. Shortly after I sold the 89 flatbed ranger to a friend, who now has it completely tore apart, drivetrane yanked and awaiting a turbo'd 302/build C4 :) Also he found a bed for it haha
