I knew this existed somewhere in my storage. I hadn't seen it since moving almost seven years ago. It was still covered in the dust from being on the shelf untouched for so long. It's here with a 1993 Ford Ranger STX 4X4 promo that I had and kept to compare what a stock cab looks like. I posted it a long time ago on the other site, but Photo Bucket ruined that.

A  little history: This build started soon after I purchased a 1993 Ranger Supercab in 2002. No kit of a Supercab ever existed. I saw the kits available and thought it could be possible to bash one because the way the cab is shaped.

Well, I finished the cab, and the interior and chassis were a bit overwhelming. So, I put it away for over a year. In that time I acquired a resin model and finished it so it gave me the confidence to try again.

Everything went together fairly well and I created an interior similar to the truck I was driving. The kits come with sport bucket seats and I just added some plastic to give the illusion of a bench seat and arm rest. The rear seats fold into the sided so there is nothing there anyways.

Eventually, the real truck became my son's to use, he wrecked it twice, and I finally sold it a few years back. This is what I have left to remember it now.

Really like your Ranger.  I have owned an 87 Supercab, a '94 Regular cab 4X4, and now have a 2010 Supercab Sport, all have been V-6 powered.  Have loved every one of them.  Thanks for sharing your build.

Not at the price they are going for and only drivetrain available is a I-4 10 speed.  I'm afraid Ford screwed the pooch on this one.
