Last year of STX ( 4x4 ) ??



Something seems fishy about this CLAIM of a 1998 STX 4x4!!! :icon_confused:

I can't find any reliable pictures or facts about a 1998 ford ranger STX 4x4 on the internet But hey I will admit I possibly could be wrong BUT generally speaking seeing is believing.

EDIT: Hmm I did find these on yahoo but I don't see the STX badges anyplace,

Edit again/video,,,, but still??? maybe they didn't put STX badges on in 1998?? http://video.carsforsale.com/vehiclevideo.aspx?vid=144531074

My '85 has Custom badges on the fenders and V8 badges between the grille and clearance lights.

Point being sometimes people get cute with badges, I have never seen another first generation Ranger with Custom badges. According to my '85 brochure (which makes no mention of a Custom at all) the base truck of that year was just a Ranger with no prefix. Due to the lack of other Custom first gens out there I am going to guess it came out late in the run, it is in the first gen font though. I like them for their uniqueness and because my truck is rather "Custom"

I did the V8 badges (from the trunk of 02+ Explorers) as a knock off of the V6 badges Ford put there. :D

Earlier STX's intrigue some people, I can see where somebody would rebadge a truck.

^^^ Your "custom" badge could be from a full size ranger.

Wrong font and pretty much everything about it is different.

Dad has an '80 F-350 Ranger so I had already ruled that out. It for sure has the first generation Ranger's Ranger font, actually I have a closeup of it for my avatar.

I have seen a second generation. IIRC it was pretty much the same badge but with the rounder second generation font.
 
there are a couple 1st gen ranger customs around here, If I see them I'll snag a pic or two for you.
