Not mine but it is floating around the internet for sale. Take note of the Canadian deluxe push button radio!

1966 Mercury M-100 Ranger not 1966 Ford F-100 Ranger

 

Seller says all 1966 trucks with bucket seats or the Ranger option are Body Code 81, but this is incorrect.

All 1965/66 F100/250's with Bucket Seats are Rangers.

81 is an F100/1100 Conventional Cab, makes no difference if it's Standard Cab, Custom Cab or Ranger (F100/250 only).

81A = Standard Cab; 81B = Custom Cab with or without the Ranger package.

The BODY code defines if it's a Ranger or not, and 1965 & 1966 Rangers have specific body codes.

This Rangers BODY code is V81: V = Red Crinkle Vinyl & Red Rosette Pattern Vinyl (Bucket Seats); 81 = 81B Custom Cab with Ranger Package.

 

Thanks for posting. Other than your truck, I have never heard of another Mercury Ranger, great to finally see some pictures.
