That would be about what id use it for.

Ive never seen an aftermarket grill on anything that looked better then the factory one IMO

Any collectibles I'd think should be original

Wrong year front bumper.

It looks like theres a V6 emblem on the front fender in front of the marker light too.

Good catch. Didnt the early ones not have an airdam underneath?

There is. But wernt those stock untill mid 87? Cause rusty #2 had them (early 87) but rusty #1 did not (late 87)

As previous owner of the *RARE* 4 speed, HARD PASS. LOL,

I had a 2.0 carb'd Ranger with a 4spd manual. Got great mileage but took all day to get anywhere.

Dash panel also looks like a later one (85 - 88) with the radio's recessed DIN opening. Hacking an earlier "3 hole" radio dash to take a DIN radio would need a trim ring to cover the taller center opening.

Looks like this truck may have received some later model donor parts along the way, along with some of most exciting and tasteful accessories from J. C. Whitney, as in that grille and bug deflector.

That was more the fault of the 2.0 then the 4 speed lol
