dont know where you are at but up in phoenix there were a couple of places with rangers that har the rearends in them. I think they went for around $400.
Now what engine are you planning to use because if its a big one, I am not sure the ranger rearend will hold up. Might want to ask the guys that are doing v8 swaps what they are using. or go over to the ranger station and look/ask there. |
Thanks the truck is stock with 6cyl 4sp I just want a simple swap that will bolt right in

From what I remember, the mid 60's Bronco is the closest to fitting. Not sure how much fabricating needed to fit the Ranger.
