My Ranger inspiration

Recently, I added my Ranger, I would like to show you a truck that inspired my build. It was always parked outside a building that resembled a house more than a business in the small town that my father resided in for over 20 years. Last year, my father moved to Florida, so I don't get to visit the small town in Texas that this truck resided in, so I really don't know if it is still there. I had always thought if I could convince the wife that I had good use for the truck that she would let me buy it, that is if it was in fact for sale. I never came up with a perfect use for it, so I never tried to buy it since that fight would not be a good one. :D
I hope you enjoy these photos, and that they might help you build a Ranger when you find all the parts to it.
Enjoy,
Chris

I'll have to see if I can find pics of my old '85 F150 XLT, it was painted 2 tone blue- silver, almost box art from the factory. Good old truck, had a 302 with fuel injection, it would run!

Sounds like a nice looker Mike, you might have noticed this one is actually an F100 XL, no T, but this one is as close as I could find to the one I like the most in color combo from back then, I guess I am just a blue guy.
