Im looking for a stock radio for a 95+ ranger. Doesnt have to work and doesnt need to be complete. Im mainly looking for the front plastic face with the buttons. Dont really need the rest of it. Let me know, i left mine in fl when i moved back to mn.

Ok got mine in the mail today. Wanted a way to cover up the double din when i park in public places. I bought the front face off a factory radio and removed the circuit board and rubber and clear plastic that holds the buttons in. After having just the face and all the buttons in place i spray glued the whole backside to keep all the buttons in place. The only one that is special is the volume knob, i had to glue it to a washer that was bigger than the hole in the face then glued the washer to the face. After it started drying i covered the back with a scrap piece of vinyl i had and let it all dry. Pops into place and stays put till i pull it off.

I really should have taken in progress pics but my hands were very sticky from all the spray glue

We made one for my buddies truck out of the same radio. You need to find an old tape, cut it to about 1-1.5", and glue it to the door. It will make it look like a tape is sticking out of it. Also take some fine sandpaper and lightly sand the commonly used buttons, it will give it a worn look. I'll have to get a pic of mine. :icon_thumby:

Here's my "fake face". A couple of the buttons are missing now, but it just makes it look even worse. (or would that be better?)
