I *believe* 83 to 97 will fit....with very minor modding the later you get in years. Up to 02 is pretty much unchanged in the Ranger line...

Great thanks for the info

got an update on the chassis after a little digging its a 1988 ford bronco II lx chassis. I plan to put a 1984 ranger body on it, the engine is a 2.9l efi linked to a 5 speed manual box with 4wd the only thing I can see being an issue is that the wiring harness is a lot different

any ideas on where I can find another harness other than spending two days removing one at a scrap yard??????? I will only need the engine compartment wiring I think as most of the existing wiring is the same between the two.
