Marmon-Harrington had long been offering four-wheel-drive conversions for
Ford trucks. When a 1952 Ford Panel Delivery truck was so equipped, it
was called a "Ranger."

not much in the world that has more ugly in it than the 1960 Chevrolet pickup. Unless it's the 1959 Buick.

The first year Ranger was even earlier than 1952. I know of a man that has a 1950 Ranger. His truck was originaly a civil defense vehicle.

Put some curtains in the back winders and an air mattress and you have a home. Or a camper if you already have a home. imagine all of them crazy young adults back in the day making nasties in the back of the Ford Ranger :lol:
