As far as I know, that's a fuel injected engine
If it looks like it has a carb, it's more likely a Center Fuel Injection sometimes called a Throttle Body Injection
Inside the "carb" they'll be a big injector
If it's not squirting fuel when attempting to start the engine, then it's possible the electric fuel pump is dead
If the engine won't even turn over (rotate), then it's not that your not getting fuel to the engine, you've got a different problem

A little extra clarification, cowboy, on both questions:
This is a carbureted engine with a mechanical fuel pump bolted to the side of the engine? Like slick, I would have thought by '88 Rangers would have all been fuel injected.
Not turning over meaning no rotation at all or it's rotating but not firing?
If you have a fuel delivery problem, I would wonder about a fuel line icing up at the temperatures you're describing.
