if you want bigger pics, post from photobucket. click the URL (?) link and when you post a response, click on the little pyramid/sun thingie. then install the link. BAM! larger pics

 

I wish I had one but heres a pic of my dads '88 the day he bought it, 12/30/87. I was 10 yrs old then. It was a 4x2, 2.9/5-speed XLT with A/C, cruise, tach, factory limited slip rear, pw/pl, cassette deck...lol...pretty loaded for back then. I learned how to drive a stick with this truck....who knows whatever ever happened to it after it was traded in, would love to have it now. I love the silver/black two tone.

He traded in a 1985 Ranger S for it (the base model of all base models) with a 2.0/4-speed, no A/C, nothing...I remember it even came with a plastic block off plate where the radio would be when it was new. Theres some pics of it when it was brand new too but I'll have to find them.

 

This is sitting at the PD station down the street.

Pics of my new 87 Ranger. Brought her home today.








Not bad for a 20 year old paint job.

 

Sharp truck!!! I would love to find a 1st or 2nd gen anywhere near that clean.

 

 

EDIT - removed dupe posting.

 

Dude. First of all, SWEET GEN 1!!!! Second, no wayyyy that’s a 20 year old paint job. How?? Also, how much lift and what tires are/were on her? 6 inch and 33s maybe?? Anyway, you definitely got me drooling over this girl. Fantastic truck, man!!

 

Seriously. That's a 20 year old paint job. He color sanded for 2 weeks. 2 inch body lift with leveling springs in front. 32x11.5x15 tires.

 

Truly awesome job!!!

By any chance, do you know where the body lift and leveling springs were ordered from? I’ve never lifted a vehicle before and am afraid of screwing it up. Your Ranger has the exact height I’m looking for. Thanks and cheers, man!

 

 

I know its not a Ranger but its my newest 1st gen.
