1966 ranger
Its my first time visiting this site, I recently purchased a 1966 ranger short box with a 352/4 speed on the floor, overall its in decent condition but its does require a restoration, everything is original and everything still works. It also had many options installed at the dealership when it was new (I found this out with paper work that was still in the glive box) in past couple weeks ive stripped it down too frame too begin the restoration. I'll post a few pics at a later time.

Is your Avatar the actual inside of your Ranger?
If so, I would like to see more pictures of it. Thanks and keep us posted.

No other pictures? Can you blow that one up? It would be nice to see pictures before, during and after. Whatever pictures you might have, post them.

The seats used in the 1965 and 1966 Rangers came from the Mustang of the same year. The Standard, not Pony, seat covers were used. The console, which was optional on the Ranger package, came from the Falcon Sprints.

Seats are pretty easy to locate as they made a lot of Mustangs. The brackets that bolt to the floor and some of the hardware is unique but BillW repops the brackets and special big washers.
I picked up a '66 F250 Ranger earlier this year. I haven't pulled it all apart yet so if you want pictures of something particular let me know and I'll see what I can do. Mine has the same U81 code parchment colored interior as this F100 and the optional console, too.
