project SHO89. Thanks for all your help. I have been looking for that stuff for days. Didn't want to bother the local dealer. All this was needed as I am looking to buy a Ranger within the next couple of weeks.
Thanks again. Ken Liden

i would think your 2004 would be 28 spline too BUT my 2011 is rear disc brakes so it could be different on your older drum brake application
