Restoring My Grandad's Old 1984 Ranger- What is the "Special Edition"

[dlove1788]

So I just pulled my grandad's old truck out from behind my dad's shop with a tractor where it has been parked for 14 years. I had it towed to a shop, so we can first get it running again. I'm trying to research about the truck to help determine what all needs to be done to the exterior. It has the words "Special Edition" on the side, but I can't find anything on the internet about what this means. It had a color code of 51- Dark Canyon Red inside the door, but it also seemed to have a unique stripe job on it. I can't find anything that looks like this trucks stripe job anywhere. Does anyone know where I can find resources that would tell me what makes the truck a "special edition" and what kind of stripe kit it had for it's paint job?

Thanks in advance for anyone that knows about these things. I'm trying to do a special thing for my dad to remember his father by who is now passed away. He's wanted to do it for years, but hasn't had any extra money to throw at a project like this, but now I can help!

Sorry, I just noticed the note about the help forums further down. I'll move this there now.
