Looking for a parts truck for my 97 Ranger. It's an extra cab, but I'd swap to a short cab as long as hear ratio is the same. The truck never leaves my property, so body style changes don't matter, only drivetrain and suspension.
Also wondering how much crossover there might get be from explorers. I'm guessing rear suspension would be different, but curious about the front end.
Old 3.0 4x4's seem to be pretty tough to come by, so any help is appreciated.
