You have to value it as to what a regular cab stock Ranger is worth. Forget the flatbed and everything you have done to it....it is still a 94 Ranger. Checking values brings up between 300 to 800 bucks depending on condition.
To someone who is looking for a flatbed, maybe a few more bucks, but has dj posted 500 bucks, maybe 600 if its in good running condition and doesn't need anything to run properly.
It's at the age where it's only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.
Additionally, you may want to try listing it where there are farms in your area. A flatbed would make a good farm truck for hauling hay/crops, ect, and a farmer wouldn't be too concerned with accessories or a bit of body damage.
The flatbed would be the selling point.

Definitely can’t sell it for that cheap. I paint $1000 for it 3 years ago so I’d at least need to have 1000 for it.

You can ask for whatever you think it's worth, to you. But remember, you will almost never get back $$$ for what modifications you did to it to make it your personal truck.
To most others, it's just a 94 base Ranger. You may get lucky and get your $1000, but be prepared to come down. You have to get someone who is actually looking for a flatbed ranger.
To the vast majority it wouldn't fit the bill for a "daily driver" and would probably not even give it a second look. Splatter paint and orange flecks on the wheels are not something that a lot of people are interested in.....your taste, but not for the average buyer.
In my area, via Facebook Marketplace, there are dozens of older, stock, Rangers for under a grand, in good condition, and a large # of mid 90's F-150 for 1200-1500 bucks in good condition.

it should have about 5 years at least left in it easily. Nothing is wrong with it so theirs no way I’m selling it for That cheap it’s just not happening. I’ll keep it and make it a off-roading toy for that and let it rot or blow it up just to have some fun
