im interested in the wheel well trim and some lower ranger trim pieces if its they are in decent condition. The truck looks like a '69 ranger... does it have the white door panels with the woodgrain in the center :pray:

Cool, so do you tow or is it a not for hire toy?

sorry guys its been a wile since i was on here.
most of the trim is ok if you just need it, but it all has dents or scratches on them
the bed and frame is why i have truck anyway .
no door panels either. sorry no help from here guys.
the rollback and enclosed trailer is my business.its not a wrecker thing just a delivery service for body shops,insurance companies,dealers, and salvage/auction lots
i started doing dealer transfers, buy-sale deliveries,show cars at first but it has dried up lately,so i do what needs to be done
i do miss the enclosed high end stuff,and going all over the east coast, but it wasnt paying the bills and two youngens now is hard to leave.

back to the project

i should be getting the brackets back wed. or thur. so i can get the bumper tucked.
the two brackets that go to the ends of the bumper are thick and i have nothing to slot the holes.
the fab shop sayes its hard stuff, they messed up two bits them self getting the slots right?

I'd fab one too. The van bumper does wrap too far around.
