I picked up a 85 bronco yesterday for dirt cheap with a excellent running 5.0 fuel injected to swap into my 85 ranger 
. The plan was to pull the motor and have a well powered ranger. Now my buddy got me thinking about putting the ranger cab on the bronco frame and running it that way. Where i need help deciding is.... The ranger has 4.88 gears, sliders, 4in lift with ext rad arms, lockers and works great just way underpowered. The bronco is stock with a beat up body but a lil stronger frame that would need a sas and lift as none of my ranger axles, lift will work on the bronco frame. Lets hear what everyone's input is.
put the 5.0/trans in the ranger vs. ranger cab on bronco frame.
Thanx
Mike
The bronco. I was suprised how well it runs, pulls away from my 4.6 f150
Here the most recient pic of the ranger, has a few more dents since then
