4x4 ranger Member in TN

[r1hatman]

Hey guys, I am new here just got a 83 ranger 4x4 at a couple of months ago, traded a 95 taurus even for it. Runs good. Had to put a new tranny filter/ fluid, high mileage oil change, and a pcv valve, and a/c belt on it, but it runs fine. I drove it home. I haven't had time to take it off road other than the test drive in 4x4 when I got it. Does anyone know of a site you can get original paint schemes from? Pics soon to come. Also, I got a tailgate cable, but I can't get the bolt to connect to anything on the tailgate, anybody got a scematic of it? Thanks, r1hatman

Nice to see you here man and from what I can see it looks pretty good you should put some pics and if you want to repaint it come up with something original

Yeah, I 'm having some picture posting issues. I'm going to paint it two tone, white and silver with ford blue pin stripes and airbrush an american flag blowing over it. and put platinum tint on it and chrome it out a little.
