1993 Ford Ranger Supercab

[THarrison351]

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.

Nice. I had this 1:1 truck in silver with blue along the bottom.

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.

Hey, I just got into building model cars. I own a 1995 ford ranger extended cab and I'm looking into the 95 kit so I can replicate my truck, but obviously they don't make the extended cabs. I am curious how you made the extended cab mold. I've only seen another extended cab model kit. Thank you! Have a good one!

Awesome build, i wish they would bring a model of one out, i drive a 1999 ext cab flareside 4x4 ranger as my daily.

Nice work! Where did you source the wheels for this build, are they from the kit?

It's two cabs, sheet plastic, putty, and lots of sanding. I cut the cab of the one kit behind the door. The other kit was eyeballed, not calculated, just were it looked right and cut through the middleish part of the door to match. Sheet plastic reinforced the inside and top and lots of putty, scribing and sanding until I was happy. The cab wasn't that hard, neither was the interior. The chassis was the most difficult. I had to hack a section in and make it look like it was supposed to be there.

Sort of but really an unassembled promo. many years ago AMT had a three in one snap fit set with a purple ranger in it. All of those are really just unassembled promos, and technically they're 15 inch wheels for the 4X4 instead of the 14 inch on the rear drives, but you can't tell. You can see the wheels on the promo in the first picture with the mud tires that come with it. The regular tires will fit.
