body swamp
I've been working on putting my 1968 ranchero body on top a 1990/1994 explorer frame. what i need to know is the wheel base of the explorer. also the width.

111.9 inch wheelbase, 70.2 inch width.

Your Ranchero is 113", not too far off. Width of 74.6" probably close enough.....


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Explorer
Rear axle width said to be 59.5".

The Ford Explorer 8.8-Inch Rear Axles

But this says 58.3" for the earlier models:
