Unusual 1980 "parts truck" on FB

Administrator

A guy on Facebook got an unusual parts truck that I thought you guys might like to see... 1980 Ranger Lariat. Notice the Lariat tailgate emblem, the padded(?) trim piece above the arm rest on the door panels, and the plastic map pockets appear to have a carpeted face...

STRAIGHT SIX 4X4: 1981 F150 2wd to 4x4-- 300 I6 close ratio diesel T19, hydroboost brakes, Saginaw steering

BIG F: 1995 F-Superduty under construction— converting to 6.9L IDI diesel ZF5+DNE2

Interesting! I’ve seen the carpeted map pockets, and have or have had a set. And the catalog shows the Lariat emblem as E0TZ, so it must have started in 1980. But I’ve never seen the padded door panel.

Gary, evidently there were other door panels that had trim there:

And then there was this truck that was also a 1980 Lariat that had the same tailgate emblem and padded door pieces but in red:

Pretty sure the blue one is from an Explorer as that is the Medium Blue cloth material used in them: http://www.garysgaragemahal.com/1981-explorer-brochure.html.
