You would need the Ranger bench seat, Ranger door panels, Ranger trim (the upper part only if you're going to paint a solid color). It is a bit of a work.

Yes, they could have the two-tone paint treatment, but not all Rangers had that.

Solid color - the upper trim ends at the rear side marker and is straight edged. No lower trim.

Two-tone colors - upper trim has a 90 degree notch to contiune from upper to the narrower lower trim.

Oh, I forgot. Rangers also has chrome drip rails, and chrome groove centered in the windshield and the rear window.

my 78 ranger had the plastic strip in the windsheild, alum trim on the back window, the alum on the bottom of the body (rocker pannels) and over the wheel wells, it also had the strip package, and the seat is the same as my 79 custom.... the ranger also has the bumperettes and the plastic guards on the bumper
