I like your truck. You even have the cool "hole" wheels.

I didn't realize 2-tone was so common...I rarely see any around here.

The '91 EB I just bought is two tone Oxford White on top and Pastel Sandalwood (Beige) on the bottom ... but not for much longer ... I got lucky and found a 1 owner '91 with only 55,000 miles on it (still has the factory plugs and wires on it) so I'm replacing the rockers and am going to 'go cheap' and repaint all the beige with white bedliner ... just about done with the passenger side except for paint and hope to start the driver side Monday night and paint next weekend ...

And this started out as just trying to find a cheap ride to pull by fishing boat and turned into a project ... I'm also going over the mechanical, changing all fluids (only have the diffs left) new plugs and wires and will rebuild the starter and alternator, go over the front hubs, etc by the end of May .. and maybe even get the AC working again, the only thing that doesn't work on the truck right now, I have pressure on the system, the low pressure cutout isn't open but it doesn't engage, probably a bad clutch ... I even have a couple of old 16 oz cans of R-12 I bought in the early 90's for .99/can if it needs a squirt .... I've been lucky so far so I'm hoping to get by without doing a conversion on it, at least for this year ...

Someone who knows the link for posting pictures should post it here, i wanna see these!

Longjohn119 · 04-30-2005, 09:07 PM

Mines not two tone like yours and I'll bet the other EBs in that year are more like mine than yours ...

Mine is mostly white except for the door trim down and the rockers and then about a 1" strip around the wheel wells and inner wheel well lip, then all the plastic trim on the doors and bumpers all of which are beige ... or as Ford calls it Pastel Sandwood

I really wanted to repaint the beige to black but then I'd also have to repaint all the side trim, bumper trim and air dam, etc .... so to avoid that I acquired some white bed liner which should look OK .... I'm not looking for showroom quality, just a decent truck to pull my boat, go camping and as a bonus to drive in snowstorms .... Actually I was shopping for another 2WD Ranger but this was just too sweet a deal to pass up, even with the rust in the rockers (only) which will all be gone by this time next week, the rest of the truck is in excellent shape, especially for a '91 from the Midwest ...

If it lasts as well as the old '85 Ranger I had (239,000 when I sold it last week, original 2.0 motor with a head rebuilt at 210,000, only 1 clutch), I'll have this for quite some time, I'll only be putting 5000-6000 miles on it a year because I have a work vehicle I drive home and have a 2001 Mazda as my main car ...

Thanks, the wheels are allright I guess, 2 have some curb rash on the outer rim, and they are a royal pain in the ass to clean, it's not uncommon to spend 2+ hours to get them really looking good.

special ed · 05-02-2005, 04:07 PM

my two-tone paint job is common around here, there are 3 other X's with the same colors within a 50 mile area

Sympletruth316 · 05-02-2005, 07:14 PM

I got a 92 with a two tone black and silver. Has a hideous 1/2 inch red pin stripe too. Im thinking of taking that off and getting something a little more fitting.

squeege · 05-19-2005, 12:52 AM

redrig has a nice lookin truck!

rockstar · 05-19-2005, 01:27 PM

My 91 XLT is two-tone, blue on botton and light gray on top. Pretty nice looking.

*TheRookie* · 05-22-2005, 07:39 PM

I was 2 tone originaly. Saw ONE other truck this way. A few others that were close. I dont recall the blue color name but the white is "oxford white" I still have a bottle of touch up paint for it laying around. Not that it would do me much good anymore

*Brandons* · 07-21-2005, 11:19 AM

I just took this picture the other day after getting new tires. Probably the most up to date one i have.

Crizz · 07-24-2005, 11:07 AM

Mine is two-coloured, too. Top is twilight-blue met., bottom is crystal-blue met. Sorry, i´m not allowed to place any pics

( still searching for the correct Ford-paint-# for some mendings... )

now, here´s a pic of mine

tgertz77 · 08-10-2005, 02:46 AM

The 2-Tone is VERY, VERY common around here... I have only seen one other in my area with the same colors as mine.

And someone mentioned that they didnt know what color blue they had on 'oxford white'... I believe thats the same blue as mine, and it's "Ice Blue" as I was told.

(btw, overkil, nice truck, I like it)
