I'm having a he'll of a hard time finding measurements let me run this by u
Single cab longbow chassis. Not sure what front axel (help)
Sterling 10.25 rear axel
Dt360. Fso640
6 inch lift 39s
Divorced 205
3.53 gearing
Now will the crew fit on that all I need is a tire carrier and a tool box behind the crew cab
I can't find measurements for the cab from fire wall to back cabin wall cause I'll do a flat bed / toolbox and my heavy duty rear bumper/tire carrier

A good idea is to post your body plans in the OBS section. I'm sure someone has the measurements, or have tried it. Front axle would be dana 60. A 44 would scatter. You skipped a couple inches on tires, I'm pretty sure 39s wont fit with only a 6" lift, but you can verify with the OBS guys.

Right, start with the rad & cooler installed, then get the engine/trans set in place. That is, after the engine is put in the compartment. I think the floor may need a good beating, but that's just around the flywheel area. The trans itself isnt all that big.

A 302 would be easiest, and lotsa fun. Actually, the 4bt was made in mexico since the early 90s. Again, you can 302 a ranger for what it cost to buy a 4bt and trans, as long as you get a deal on the 302.
