Check to see if this corresponds to the VIN on the frame before rushing to judgement. Doors are easily swapped out.

I come up with a coral short box 4x4 with a black/silver interior that only came with free wheeling package or pace truck.

If I'm right the question is assuming it's not a basket case , do you want to sell it ?

Trans G = C6 Automatic.

This is not an Ranger XLT, it's either a Custom or a Ranger. If a Ranger, the side mouldings were removed.

PA4: PA = Black & Silver all Vinyl with Black Appointments // 4 = Styleside Pickup Box

COLOR: N = Coral except Econoline /// Color N = Econoline = Medium Blue Metallic.

You couldn't get the free wheeling package in an XLT. custom or Ranger only.

If it comes up for sale I'm serious.
