Ok, All the Rangers in a given year use more or less the same wiring harness.
On the auto tranmission trucks there is a JUMPER to bypass the wire that would (on a manual trans truck) connect to the clutch safety switch.
you can get this from an auto transmission Ranger or bronco2.It's basically just the female connector shell with a loop of wire.
To be honest I consider it important to bypass the clutch safety on a Gen1,
because on the '83-87 RBV's the clutch switch is actuated by a seperate PLASTIC
pushrod that comes off the pedal and works a switch mounted to to the firewall/cowl
This pushrod frequently breaks leaving the vehicle stuck.
On the '88-up The switch is mounted coaxially on the master cylinder pushrod
The hard part of getting the pedal support out is getting the column out.
The hard part of getting the column out is getting the three sheet metal
screws out of the firewall, they "hide" behind the sound proofing.
And on your truck thay may have either 10mm, but more likely 3/8" heads
(I usually take these out with an 18" or 24" extension and a swivel socket.)
the brake booster can have either 14mm or 15mm nuts.
Pay attention to the way the insulating washers are oriented where the
brake booster pushrod is attached to the pin on the brake pedal, the washers insulate the brake light switch from unintentional connection to ground
BTW, the spring clip that holds that all together only needs to be grabbed
with a pair of needle nose pliers and PULLED.
