LOL, we're in the same boat I guess, in more ways than one. I wish I could find a free Ranger or even a cheap Ranger, LOL ! I bought a flatbed a couple of weeks ago to put on a Ranger. I may have to shorten it a couple of feet, depending on what wheelbase/cab style Ranger I end up with. As-is it's 6' x 8' and I'm looking for an extended cab Ranger 4x4. I've collected a lot of flatbed pics and want to see yours. Good to see someone with my unusual tastes!

My flatbed:

Nice! I am really digging my 87 Ranger I picked up last April. It was just going to be a DD work beater... and well... we all know how that goes.
