85 ranger + 93 explorer

Alright, bout my first and only question really, is if anyone knows if the ranger (single cab) and explorer (4dr) share the same body mounts. Ive already found that ranger swb and 4dr explorers share the same wheel base, and im pretty sure they share everything else up till at least gen 3. The bed im not so much worried about as i am the cab. I need to know if it will bolt right on, or if not what it will take. I have the explorer and the ranger, but they are at separate places and i will not be able to bring the sploder home till i can start the swap. On top of that i have a 2 day deadline to have it done. Ive done many a things like this before and i know what im getting into, but this project will have to wait if i cant find out if theyre the same body mounts. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Think they are in different locations. Probably have to remove the Explorer body and reposition them prior to setting the Ranger cab and box on the Explorer frame.
