THe 48-52 stuff supposedly fits better on a mid to late 80's ranger long bed chassis as the wheelbase is almost identical.

I have never done anything like this but from the previous discussions on this board, the side to side wheel spacing on the newer truck is wider and the wheels will stick out beyond the fenders. A Ranger chassis is the more likely donor to use.
