The serial number has that info which is the last 6 digits in VIN, starts with A
So a Ford site VIN decoder "may" have that info, because it would have access to Ford serial numbers
Rangers only had 2 bed styles, straight side(style side), wheel wells inside the bed, and step side(flare side) wheel wells on outside of bed<<narrower bed, tailgate and bumper
You can get the 1998 Ford Ranger brochure here: Auto-Brochures.com|Ford Car & Truck PDF Sales Brochure/Catalog/Flyer/Info Aerostar Bronco Bronco II C-Max Contour Crown Victoria E-Series Econoline Edge Elite Escape Escort Excursion Expedition Explorer Explorer Sport F-150 F-250 F-350 F-450 Festiva
Looks like the Splash came with regular bed but step side was an option
Very hard to find canopies and tool boxes that fit the step side model
