Since it is an old ranger i would ideally suggest to get ur gauges changed.
The float on the fuel gauge sending unit inside the tank is either stuck down or has come off, common problem.

The float on the sending unit could be jammed of your have a short in the harness.
Check the harness first and pay attention to the connections, if there ok then it's the float on the sending unit on the gas tank.
Sorry for the bad news but it make start to work again any time if it is the float.
Good luck, and hope this helps
