-------------------------------------------
As for the trim,I know several places online sell it,but it can runs hundreds of dollars for a whole set,you would be better off pulling all the trim off a junk-yard truck and re-chroming it and stuff.
Some additions and addendums.
EXPLORER: was a limited edition Trim and Option Group that was added to the other trim levels. Was only avaliable a few months out of the year, and didn't feature in the main brochure.
You could have, "Custom Explorers" or "Ranger Explorers" as a concequence.
CUSTOM: Baseline. Although you could order it basicly how you wanted it. A Highly optioned Custom is rare, but there are a few out there.
RANGER: One step above custom. Came standard with the chrome trim pictured above.
RANGER XLT: 1973-1975 Best you could Get. 1976-1979 One step below Best.
RANGER XLT Luxury Group: 1976-1977. Best you could get for your XLT. Later became Ranger Lariat.
RANGER LARIAT: 1978-1979
Race Track trim was standard on 1977 Ranger XLT, and 1978-1979 Ranger Lariats. Also avaliable with the Deluxe Tu-Tone Option.
There was also Freewheeling Packages, and the 1979 Indy Pace Truck.
