ok I figured out what I was messing up on. So this is the 78 I parked for the fall/winter. I'll start driving it again in May once the city cleans the salt off the streets.
And this is what I'll be running in the winter. My 95 Ranger XLT extended cab 4X4. I kind of forgot about it over the summer. There is a few thing I got to do to it before the snow falls. But it runs good and is fun to drive.
Nice looking truck...I'm partial to the grille on the '96-'97s (and, truth be told, the dash in the '93-'94s), but there's not a whole lot of difference in mid-'90s Rangers, and I sure do like 'em.
My '97 would get mad if I "forgot about it" over the summer parked on dirt like that, though. I'd be tearing down the brakes and cleaning rust off moving parts for sure...
For 93-97, I love the Super Cabs, especially with 4x4. The single cabs don't have enough legroom for me. The cab is too small. I've never understood why they carried over the dash from 88-92 for 93, but redesigned the door panels?
