My thought is that the Ebay claim would be false. I don't think Ford broke down production numbers of trim levels. Also, I don't think Kevin Marti has info this old either so there may be no way to know. I'd like to know where the Ebay seller got their number.

If I had to guess the number would be a few hundred tops...
Another question would be how many of those Rangers were F250's?

The one I saw on eBay yesterday had a black interior and a huge center console.
The console didn't look like the Ranger consoles I've seen in documented Rangers.

Kevin Marti at marti auto works has this info for later cars but I don't think he goes back that far and I'm not sure if he has records for trucks. That would probably be your only chance.

Well,
If ford made 350 thousand trucks and 10 percent were rangers that would make 35 thousand of them.
There is no record of the rangers production. Wanting a number is wishing in one hand and $%^tting in the other.
All i can say is there are about 50 percent more rangers today than were ever produced as it is exceptionally easy to duplicate one if one knows the correct trim codes and parts n pieces.

well thats what i figure and thats why i wondered how that guy on ebay "knows" that there are less then a 1000 and my truck did come with this package originally since we know the owners who got it new. i agree that a lot of people probibly have made their trucks "rangers". but where the hell do you get a new console if you were trying to clone one, the back section of the vinal arm rest on mine is ripped up and i would like to replace it but none of the catalogs have them. also find it interesting that they use the screw down hump from a granny low 4spd to get the console at the right highth with a nice little factory block off plate where the shifter would be,
