Killing time, browsing the net for 1980 flaresiders, found a pic of this... thing.
Oddly someone stole the cases of Coors it had.

Coors Beer commissioned a custom Courier that featured period-popular hood scoop, spoilers, sunroof, and big-rig-style chrome exhaust stacks. The Flareside bed was specially made, as it wasn't offered on the Courier that year.
There are very, very few of them around anymore. They were very vulnerable to rust, even out here in CA. I can't imagine there are any left at all in the rust belt.
(coors is a joke)
The courier was the father of the ranger. The small ranger line started when the courier stopped being sold in this country. I think that was 83.
The name ranger was used on the fancy F-150s in earlier years. It was a package like XLT or something.
...and Ranger was an option package on F100 4x4s with special chrome badging and trim...
