You won't either
Ranger was a *Grouping* Trim Line.

as in : Ranger Explorer,Ranger XLT, Ranger Lariat

The Custom was below the Ranger series.

Good question - I'm picking up a '77 F150 Ranger and don't know the trim level either. Mine doesn't have the pin striping I've seen on a number of Ranger Explorer pics I've seen here. Mine has a 2-tone paint scheme with chrome moulding (with center rubber edge guard) surrounding the side 2-tone paint area on side of truck, sliding rear glass window and factory PS, PDB, AC (plus it's a 460 - C6 with dual fuel tanks) carpeted interior and more.....? I wonder if we have "just" the XLT and Explorer and Lariat models had additional emblems??

mine had the molding on it and i cant tell if it has been repainted or not by the condition the body is in it mite not have been. when i bought it the molding had alredy been taken off it is monotone dark kinda metallic green and all the sheet metal on the inside matches. sliding rear window PS, PB, no AC, no tilt wheel, single rear mounted tank, 360 swaped out to a 390 on a C6. i always thought that ranger fell in with XLT explorer and lariat.

there has been alot of modifcation to my truck before i bought it. i knew the 360 had been swapped out to a 390 but the seat has been changed, it is a cloth seat with a vinyl strip down the middle of it and i aint got no wood grain in there either it looks more like a custom interior
