Passenger door has the same rot, but my truck is a 'Custom' with black grille and no bumper strip.
I got rid of those wheel covers the first winter because they packed up and threw the balance off.

Today it randomly dawned on me that I am a member of the F.O.G.
 Can't wait to pick up a few new parts for this little truck to give it a little better look. I can't keep anything stock.   |

Yes, there are a lot of members running around in the FOG. And you are certainly one of them.

So my 2003 Ranger (the white one) was sold new at Autoway Ford in Bradenton, Florida. I bought the truck in 2010, but it didn't come with the owner's manual. I just now decided to purchase a clean copy of the original booklets and cover for the truck from Ebay. They arrived today, and to my surprise, inside the front cover was a business card for a salesman at none other than Autoway Ford in Bradenton, Florida. Although I doubt this was the original booklet from my truck (there's always a chance), it's pretty cool to know that this booklet was in a truck sold on the same lot as my truck almost twenty years ago.

That's cool, Shaun! I'd call and see if the salesman is still there.

They've changed names, moved to a new location down the street, and also changed numbers in that time. Unfortunately they don't list the sales people on their website like some dealers so, so no luck on that route. |

Bradenton isn't in the middle of nowhere. Even I've been there. My son's in-laws used to live there, although they now live around the corner from you. So, what's the problem?
Seriously though, I understand. No problemo.

Yep, that Bill. I'm just wondering if this really is Chris. I tagged him.
