I've seen lots of swaps for later Rangers, but nothing for Gen I. I read that someone put a range Rover front end on a Gen I, but have not found pics.

I just got my '86 Ranger back from a shop that stretched the frame. It's a supercab that had its frame cut and the back of a longbed frame grafted on. It is now undriveable. Starting at around 12-15mph, it feels like I'm driving on a washboard gravel road, and gets worse as speed increases. I'm...
