I went to look at it and bought it and drove it home.It has dealer add on air.I took it off.And going to have to either weld patches on the dash or find a different dash to put back in it.If any one is interested in the air cond. unit let me know.Will sell it cheap.Got the truck in the shop and got the interior gutted out.Have some floor board work to do.So desided to go ahead and get the inside repainted while I have it took apart.Will post pics later.And the guy I got it from said the motor and trans has around 5000 mile since a rebuild.

Going to start on the floor boards tomorrow.Then get it ready for pain.Still need to figure what to do with the dash.Either weld patches in where the air vent was or find another dash.I will post more pics tomorrow.

If any one is interested in the air cond. unit let me know.Will sell it cheap.

PM the price and pics of what ya got, I might be interested in it for the new 4 door.

Hey Tanman, what did you do with the AC unit, or did Ranger scarf it up already? If you still have it let me know what it comes with and how much you want. I've been kicking around cutting a hole in the firewall on "The Phoenix" and putting AC on, but I already detailed the heater box and stripped and painted the floors, firewall and dash so this would work better for me.

Where did you buy the carpet from? It looks like it is to short and does not go all way up under the dash. Great work on fixing the rust.
