Howdy! Happy to become a ranger! I have been searching and searching and I can’t seem to find a conversion thread for body swaps or specifically the nose swap. I just scooped up a 94 ranger and wish it was square body. Is it possible to take a 88 nose, fenders, etc and put it on a 94? How much modding is required?

The radiator support will need to be changed along with the hood, fenders, grill, and lights. The way the bumper mounts is different, so brackets will have to be fabricated. The plugs for the lights are all but guaranteed to be different. So, those will need to be changed.

I haven’t done it myself. So, I’m sure I’m missing some stuff. Because of the differences in the body profile, the inner fenders are probably different and will need some work or swapped as well. It will not be a small project.

Awesome, thanks for the reply. Might do it at the end then or just go with metal bumper setup. Appreciate it
