Tailgates

[Fast Fords]

So, i'm looking at buying this really nice 1994 Ranger, an its been customized slightly; shaved an filled roll pan an shaved tailgate. Looks nice, but i love the old tailgates (92 an older). Would these tailgates fit without too much modification? I think the tailgate with the big F O R D would look nice on it. thanks for the help!

well ive seen a couple 1st gens with the 94 tailgate, so i guess it will fit right in
seems like the inner bed structure is the same since the first ranger

lol thats what the gf said..new headlights. dude wants $2500, talked him down a tad. needs brakes, exhaust, tires an windshield. nothing severe. i think the old school tailgate is gonna look nice on it. and thanks for fixin that for me!

I like it, The tailgate looks just right IMO. the older ranger gate isn't going to match up body line wise.

This thing would be pimpin with some smoked taillight and 3rd brake lites and blacked out headlights and a darker grill. As for tires I think its time to get some stang rims too!

the prob is..my tonneau cover is a soft top. because the tailgate handle is relocated in the bed, I can't secure the cover and close the tailgate.
i don't like the hard tops because they are too heavy an don't allow me to load the bed when i want..

seems to me thats time to a custom tailgate! i guess it can be done cut the center on the old style and put it in the new style gate
as for rims, i would say the bullit type ones 16-17 so the tire looks meaty, not that skinny 20" tire

i HATE skinny tires..my last truck was 16" town car rims, 7" width..looked sweet..

I think the bullit ones are nice; just have to find some within budget. I think on a 1994 the tallest i would go is 17"; widest would prolly be 8".

I like the idea of the cutout..some serious fabbing is in order, lol! It will make the gf happy; she loves the retro style tailgates that say "F O R D". I suck at welding though, so i'd have to swap some beers for a buddy haha!

this is what my old 95 looked like:

Even 18" rims look Pretty slick I think, Not too big but not too small.

if i went 18" this is what i would get..either black or grey, cause everyone does chrome around here
