Hi everyone, I've got a multi part project im going to be starting soon but i couldnt find the appropriate category to post it in.
I purchased a 1998 Mazda b4000 with a 4L v6 and auto 5 speed trans that is 2wd, a buddy rolled his 2009 ranger 4wd that also has a 4L engine and auto trans.
Being as im in Canada, we have lovely winters (hate winter) but i need 4wd.
Does anyone know if my 98 cab and box will bolt to the 09 frame?
The next part is wiring compatibility, the 09 ranger has a push button transfer case so im wondering how much different the trucks wiring harness is going to be... im hoping to be able to just wiring the transfer case to a dash switch or something in my 98 cab.
I know some of you are gonna say "just buy a 4wd truck then", well if i could afford one of the many overpriced trucks i would have already... i like doing things the hard way ha-ha!
The secondary project is going to be making the 2 trucks into a single 6x6... but thats for a later project.
