Fascinating fact: When Brinkmann purchased this Ranger new in August of 1992, it was a steel-wheeled, plain-jane truck that he intended to use at his job as a rural mail carrier. Today the truck is a consistent trophy winner at shows throughout the Midwest. Unfortunately, the truck recently was severely damaged in an accident.
