Explorer Sport trac door panels

Will they fit right in the ranger? I know the dash is the same (shape/size) I was just curious...

Yeah, I know the door is different, thats why I was wondering.... I just thought it would be cool to make the whole Ranger interior to look like the explorer sport trac...

I was gonna say, there'd be some splicing involved, for sure.

Well sprt trac panels are the same as the explorer sport (2 window buttons vs. 4) I wonder if I could get some with buttons if they would plug right in. I will have to hit up some local yards here soon as see what I can find out. I will take my drivers side panel off so I can compare them side by side....

I think that the top of the ST/Explorer door panel has a different slope up towards the exterior mirror area.

Yeah, it would be cool for sure, but I don't even know how to start to go about modifying the panels to fit and look good...

one of the only ways would be fiberglassing the seams and stuff... that would be a major PITA
