I got a 86 ranger from my dad he bought it back in 86 to go back and forth from work and kept it for the next 30 years (Totally Original) waxed it once a year and he had a shell on it so the bed is in great shape 4 cyl. 2 wheel drive 4 speed long bed little over 100,000 miles and only a factory AM radio. He did not believe in extras when it came to his "work" trucks :) old paint still has a shine to it and interior is dirty but all no damage just fading I drive it around town and small trips very handy very little truck .
My Dad worked for Ford...he bought his 86 brand new. Was an XLT v6 extended cab. Great little truck and durable too. Great video...hope the inlaws are enjoying the truck.
It even has the cig lighter still in it! Lol! Usually those are missing…. I just got an ‘88 xlt given to me last week. Neighbor had it parked for about a year because he got a new truck. I finally asked him what he was gonna do with it, snd he said “you can have it”! True story!
I got a 1990 having some starting issues 0wned it from September 2020 until now am still trying to get it going i love this truck so much but at times i feel like giving up on it
Those Rangers are great little trucks. I have a 87 XLT long box and it is the most useful vehicle I have ever owned. Those missing moldings/trim are not original to your truck. They were an aftermarket protection strip you could put on any vehicle. And since it looks like the side was repainted in a two tone kind of way, they used that strip to separate the two colours. You can still find that stuff on Ebay or auto parts places.
The first I bought was from my step grandpa was a 86 Ford ranger xlt long bed 4 speed with over drive. Mine was the same color, Idk if was a special edition because it had two gas tanks
I just bought an 86 stx regular cab. It’s a piece of work but this video gave me good ideas of what I can fix up. Any good places to order ranger parts?
LMC Truck, and Bronco Graveyard both have a good supply of parts for these early Rangers. Still a lot of little things are not reproduced and can be very difficult to find. Also try Rock Auto.
My dad had a Blue 1986 Ford ranger. About 8 years ago, an off duty Cop was on her phone and got into a head-on collision with my dad, he was fine, but the truck's front end part of the frame was bent... After the accident, we entrusted the truck to a friend, who had someone come over and take half the engine apart for their own personal gain. So we're sitting here with half a truck and hoping to find a new donor so we could marry them together.. any help would be greatly appreciated. NC/VA only
