Guy in one of my classes at Wyotech had it, came up to me and asked me if I wanted to buy it.

got the taillights done tonight, crappy dark cell phone pic, I'll get better pictures once they're dry and on the truck.

Dude I just re read the whole build.. You do some amazing work buddy... Paint looks really good.. I like the colors.

Never read your thread before, but your ranger will most definitely turn heads! Hell, it probably turning heads a long while ago.

Nice looking rebuild

I am torn between filling in the tailgate like you did but leave the plate down below with an oval and Ranger badge like a late model truck or just find another lower class truck with F O R D with big stickers. I hate the aluminum thing.

With my awesome bodyworking skills I would probably be better off with another F O R D gate like I already have though.

i need your body work skills on my expo for a few days lol

I like the raised letters, I have one sitting behind my barn, I would like to weld the recessed section into the back of my '94.

lol. Spending too much time on that Buick. But seriously, when are you going to be able to enjoy the vehicle you have spent so much time rebuilding?

Since they were usually used on base trucks that are beat on, it is really hard to find one any better than what I have. (one latch pulled free from the gate, dented in the middle going out of the bed like you are going to fold it in half, and surface rust throughout)

I have seen the recessed letters in a later tailgate, it does look sharp.

ya thats how the one I have is, its all beat up really bad, but the section I need is still ok. You could just find a nice one with the aluminum panel and just weld up the holes.

More like spending too much time relaxing when I get home, after working on cars all day its hard to get motivated to do it at home, lol. The Buick will be the next project, I've got 2 new doors to put on (they're rusted out and the passenger door doesn't open anymore), fix some other spots of rust, and sell it. Now that I have my Jeep on the road and the Ranger close to done I'm ready to move on from it.

Techinically with the taillights painted, its road ready, just put some seats in it and drive it, I can worry about windows and interior later. I just have to get the title signed over to me name (its in my dads name), and get some plates.
