Does the ranger still have CUSTOM 150 on the wings?
And has anyone got an old smashed up ranger or Blackfoot (OG or rere or BF 3 etc) I need the Ronnie side front of the wing from top of the wheel arch down, long shot I know but may as well ask , also need an OG rear window while I’m at it :) :) :)

Mine doesn't :whistle: ;)

Genuine Ranger bodies have the lettering covered by the original stickers, but yes, they do say CUSTOM 150.

From reading up on 1:1 trim levels of the time, "CUSTOM" was the very basic spec with plain upholstery, no radio or bits of bling, but there was a list of upgrades possible, so spec could vary from minimum to much better appointed. The "RANGER XLT" on the other hand was meant to be the high spec model, with patterned fabric & the odd bit of chrome as standard. :whistle:

I worked a little today on the ranger body. Pouncing and filling bed's holes.

Not sure to be able to save the rear window because it has been painted by last owner. I cross fingers with a good polishing.

It’s going to be ethically hard to do and feel wrong while I’m doing it but I’m going to have to remove the raised CUSTOM 150 and roll bar mounts on my ORV Ranger project Blackfoot shell after learning this info haha :)

Before, look on the bay. I found a blackfoot 2016 body for 60€ from uk. ;)

Nice job Flo.
Did you end up spraying the rear window ?

That work mates a different colour each week at the minute.
