Ford Skyranger ?

I just saw this Skyranger truck. I was wondering what Phil might think about it or if he ever saw one. It’s news to me, Ha Ha.

Hi Chuck,

OMG! What a blast from the past!!! I was not involved in the project, so this is a first for me! Looks to me like a first class Mod job! WOW! Thanks so much for the post!!! Wonder who did this fantastic job? Any ideas? I had seen some artist renderings of something more like a sun roof that you stowed behind the seats using a Super Cab, but nothing like this. Second set of pix shows OEM Wheels vs the 5 spoke black wheels... Hmmm! Tires are Firestone, which we got rid of in 2002. Love to hear a back story on this vehicle!

It appears it was shot in Windsor Canada with the Ren Cen (Renaissance Center) in the background. Ren Cen was Ford Land's help in trying to revitalize the Detroit downtown (It did not work). There was a rumor that Truck Engineering would have to relocated down there. My commute would have been horrible. To the left is a grain storage facility on the Canadian side of the Detroit River. Interesting enough about the Ren Cen is that it was purchased by GM!

Way Cool!

I believe the company was located in Livonia but has since gone out of business.
