Ok maybe this one of those " but why would u do that?" questions but ill explain what i mean. Ok i just love the 3rd gen ranger grill/headlight. Would it be possible to change the front of a 94-97 b2300 to a front of a 3rd gen ranger(and by front i mean i know i would have to change the hood,fender,bumper,grill,and headlight). And if it were possible would the two different body lines match up?

Why would he have to change the hood? They are the same, except the lines on the Mazda hood are pushed out, and the lines on the Ranger are sunken in.

I am pretty sure the hoods are not a 100% exact fit, just like the fender flares.

hmmm.... I always thought they were. I prefer the Mazdas hood anyways, they look a little more sporty.

Sorry to dig this up but I asked before and got no answer and this doesn't answer my question 100% either.

Do the body lines of the Mazda and Ranger line up? I have a 96 so would a 93-97 match up? If I had to replace the box or a door would either or both fit?
