I bought an 88 Ranger in October of 87'. It was customized with a fiberglass box and charcoal and silver stripes on a black paint job. I think the dealership sent it out to Sturgis, MI to have it done. When I bought it, it had 136 miles on it. After 113,000 miles, I put a 302 into it. It never liked cold weather and was hard to start in the cold Michigan winters. My wife grew tired of the whole situation and I sold it in 98' with 246,000 miles on her. I always wondered what became of her and watched Craigslist for quite some time but eventually gave up after 9 months. She eventually was listed on Craigslist and a buddy of mine called me. Anyways, I got her back!!! I've had to pull the motor to replace the ring-gear on the flywheel to fix a starting problem but have been driving it since. Looking for a stock bench seat to accomodate 3 people. Also looking to fix a rusty floor under the drivers seat. I know I'll have to replace the cab corner, rocker and front floor pan but what to do to the rear section?!?
