I used your pic for a reference and found a jack handle like yours for my truck (it was in a '84 and identical to yours so it should be right for my '85) The previous owner of that truck had it sitting like yours with the handle sitting on the overflow jug. I have a later model jug in mine and that put the handle on top of the washer fluid cap, it wanted to interfere with the radiator cap and the whole thing just fit very poorly as far as anything lining up with the clips that wasn't bent... so I broke out the owners manual.
They are getting harder to find...but I enjoy the search. Thanks for the kind words!i never would have guessed that theres that many NOS parts out there for a 12st gen ranger. awesome truck
I will certainly take a look. Thanks for the tip! Every pic I can find has the same orientation so hopefully this can help several others.If you flip the handle around there is a hole in front of the battery between that and the headlight for the handle to actually go into. The thing fits like a dream, isn't resting on anything and can't move at all.
Happy Birthday!Looking good, mine turned 32 yesterday.
Thank you!The truck looks amazing so far. Great job on keeping it all original
Thank you!You should be VERY proud of your 30 year old! Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!
Happy birthday!!

Great info! Thanks! I ordered a Marti Report a couple weeks back...will post it here when I get it.-Your aware that this is not the 'Actual' build date. This is the day it was
"PDI'ed" at the dealership. Some dealers have techs write it on the hood/header panel/fender/etc. That should be the techs #, his initials, and the day he did it.....but still a "birthday' none the less.
It certainly reduced the 'roll' when cornering. It did introduce a slight drift to the right in my alignment so I'll have to sort that out. Now I need to find one for the rear. Will add that when I tackle the back end here in a few weeks.Notice a difference in handling?
