My credo
If you're not making mistakes, you're not learning.
If you want a 3/4 ton Ranger, put the body on a 3/4 ton frame, shorten components as necessary.

No amount of modification/swapping will make a Ranger a 3/4 ton, especially when compared to the quality of a professionally designed 3/4 truck/frame/suspension/running-gear/etc.

well ranger frames just as strong as a chevy 3/4 truck so the problem with using f250 frame is its to wide long isn't a problem was ya'll saying make the frame not as wide
i'd really just like to put f250 axle on rear and the front is what I don't know about
I got the back d60 coming and shorting it

I read something similar to this years ago about people wanting to do a power stroke swap and doing a 3/4 ton ranger and most of people agreed it was quite doable but the problem is with handling weight and braking if you're planning on towing something big. Sorry I don't have any technical data to give you for your question. I just thought you might want to chew on that thought for safety reasons.
