one last thing....swapping a body to a fullsize frame is not the same as building a ranger.
i still have ranger frame rails front to rear....well mostly ranger anyway. theres been some patching and beefing from railing on it over the years.
i will still call my rig rangerish.....but a ranger on something else is just that.
of course by my definition my ranger is a jeep because i swapped a straight axle into it.
just my asshole opinion....and likely not worth the time it took to type it.
this is a post from a different thread but has some fitment relevance.

my engine is quite a bit larger then a 302.....its the difference between a 2.9 and a 351 actually.
but i still can get the t case in a decent position.
so a cummins is not out of the question. just gangly and out of place
