Hello, new to the forum. I've tried to do a search but yielded no results.
Let me first start off by saying i just purchased a 1997 Mazda B4000 4x4 4.0 ext, pretty much just landed in my lap, wasn't really searching for a particular truck.But now that i have it i was wondering how interchangeable exterior parts are with the ford ranger 4x4 4.0 ext, like the bed or axle bumpers and so on, mainly the bed. Any help would be greatly appriciated. Also would like to stick the biggest tires i can on without doing a lift. what size and specs please and thank you.

 

A lot, from 93-2010 has a bunch that can interchange. Beds after '09 or '10 have 8 bolts holding them in. Before that only 6.

There have been a couple members on here who have either swapped from Mazda to ford and vice versa for beds, front clips. Also first and second gen explorers can interchange too.
