I read in the Ranger forum that there's a Detroit Tru-trac available for the 7.5. The design is similar to the Torson l/s now standard in the new Ranger FX4 Level II. No clutch pack to wear out and the performance is said to be excellent. Don't know who might be able to order one(UAP?), but online ordering and shipping from the states is pretty easy. Check out the FTE sponsors as they usually offer discounts to FTE members.
As for a conventional L/s, a good local boneyard should be able to tell you what applications had a 7.5 l/s and whether they have one in inventory, unfortunately they'll likely tell you that you have to purchase the whole rear end at which point you may as well upgrade to an 8.8. And you'll likely have to replace the clutch pack as they degrade with use.
Good luck

the clutch pack is inside the carrier its locked up by a spring in there much like the 1 in the transmission .its not hard to find a 8.8 for a ranger look at the wreckers its about $300-400
i have 1 in my 97 ranger with a 2.3
had a 4.10 gear set installed with a mustang carrier
droped it off at the shop to have the gear installed an everything an had it ready to go so i could just do the swap myself

My old Ranger had a locking 7.5 from the factory, gone before I got the truck though. I think the one B2 I had had a locking 7.5 too.
If you're going to swap rears, the 8.8 will be strong enough to handle anything you can do with your truck, like the future 5.0 upgrade. Don't bother with the extra expense of modifying a 9" to fit a non-factory application.
