Need to know since this will help make my decision on what year Ranger to buy, easier.......thanks, Mike U>

 

Back when mine was made (2002) the only fiberglass ones were the stepsides. The regular beds like mine are metal. That was true back to 2000 at least because a friends 2000 stepside was fiberglass.

I have no idea if or when the regular beds went fiberglass. I thought they were still metal but I haven't looked at one closely.

 

All the newer ones I have seen have metal beds, minus the flaresides which are fiberass.

 

Gee, I thought that was what you got when you had too much bran...

 

1993 is the first time they had fiberglass bed sides on Splash/Stepside/Flareside beds but remember it still has the steel tailgate and inside

 

.

 

yeah i believe all the stepsides are fiberglass.. i dont think they have ever made regular beds in fiberglass

 

since Im just looking to save all the weight I can.....thanks guys and merry Christmas.........Mike U.

 

I'm old enough to know a lot about bran, Rev, lol...bran is your friend if you're over 50...(did I say that out loud?...)

 

I know Benefiber is my friend...Im only a year and a half behind ya in that dept.

 

Super Colon Blow is my friend.

 

lol!

Well, as usual, I have taken the level of discussion to a much lower plane, lol...and gone completely off topic in the process, and brought others with me. Ain't I talented?

My apologies to the original poster -- I meant no disrespect I just get carried away.

 

Woow! for my fiber glass bed! Haha

 

yea...you fiberglass guys don't get dents....you get cracks. lol.

 

Only thing that will never rust out on my Ranger are the bedsides and the hood......LOL

As for the rest of it, it's a Ranger, rust is what they do.....LOL
