i just got an 86 ranger, the center u joint froze and ruined the yoke on the slip part of the long drive line. i read that you can do the drive line swap to a single drive line with minor mods. then at the bottom it says my year you need to "if you own a '83-'89 Supercab model, this swap can still be done, but the rear driveshaft flange on the axle will be smaller. You will need to swap the larger rear U-joint attachment with 3" bolt spacing with another forward one that has a 2.5" bolt spacing."can this be done with the parts from my old one?
