Bed, Fender, Door Interchangeability Question

Hi everybody,
I have a 97 Ranger Splash that I have owned for the last 20 years. It's been a great truck, V6, 4.0, 5-speed, extended cab.

I was hit in the side by a large deer (a buck), who dented the door, cab, and cracked my fiberglass bedside.

A few months later, another deer hit me on the OTHER side of the truck -- large dent in the drivers door now.

I am now on the hunt for another truck that I can use as a donor for these body parts, but I don't know what years to look for.

I am seeing conflicting reports on what year Rangers had doors, beds, and and body panels that fit my 1997 extended cab Splash.

Can anyone help me out on this?

Thanks so much. I love this 97 Ranger -- have had it for 20 years and I don't want to part with it.

93 to 94 are supposed to be interchangeable. I know grill and mirrors and windows are all same as I have changed all. I got parts for elec windows mirrors off 97 and it all was direct fit to my 94. Same with interior panels. I got elec seats from 01 explorer and some leather ones from a 97 eddie baurer bronco2 for it also I got these because th 97 only had elec for driver, needed the adjust ability for the wife on passenger side.

check lmc trucks (lmctrucks.com) I think or look at ranger station tech articles for swap info.

1993 thru 1997 will work for the cab and doors. The SMC Splash box with fenders would probably be 1993 to end of production. Your local salvage yard can confirm the fit.
