If you own or know of anyone owning a 1965 or 1966 F 100 Ranger, please put them in contact with me. Or visit the Ranger page on my web site. There is a link on this site just below the Ranger intro at the top of the page.

Just a heads-up to fix the typo (Regestry)

 

R-E-G-I-S-T-R-Y

 

(except delete that last "T")

Couldn't resist, Bill.

 

I did...about 20 seconds after I noticed it...but you quoted the post before I did, so...

I read every post after I post them...My laptop has two keys that are missing the plastic buttons, so I gotta bear down on the remains.

Sometimes this occurs: aaaaaaaa and/or eeeeeeeee. So, I gotta edit.

 

I hear ya.

(not that Michelle has...yet)

 

Thanks for calling it to my attention. I hadn't noticed it before.

 

Hi -

I have my eye on a Ford truck that appears to have the optional Ranger bucket seats. Is there a unique number on the VIN tag that will identify the truck as a factory Ranger? I did not see the Ranger option listed in the factory Ford shop manuals.

Thanks!
Dan M.

 

The number you are looking for will be the body code, it will be a letter followed by 81, example T81 would be a Ranger with black seats. For 1966 it should be either T=Black U=Parchment (off white) V=Red. The Rangers are listed in the Ford prices and specifications book and also in sales brochures. I have never seen then listed in the maintenance manuals.

 

Thanks Michelle! I checked out the VIN number and verified that it is a legit 1966 Ford F100 "Ranger" Custom Cab. I bought it and pick it up tonight!

Thanks for your help.
Dan M.

 

That is good news, I would like to see as many as possible of these trucks be saved. Be sure and shoot me an e-mail as soon as you pick it up with all your info, so we can get it registered

 

Michelle your site is down for the registry, whats happening?

 

I had been having trouble getting on my website to make changes and do regular maintenance. After much complaining and getting it sorted our several times I thought things was home free. When I started having problems again I finally threw my hands up and called and told them to take it down that I was not going to pay for it any more. I may do another website with another vendor at some point and redo the some of the pages that was on the site among them the Ranger page.

 

anybody keeping a list of 1965 f250 rangers with H81 body code like mine

 

Yes, but it is a short list. You are the only one with H81 that I know of so far. So far I had not passed your info to Michelle, but we are talking to one another now. This is what I have for you.
