didnt really need another suv but i got a deal on a 97 explorer v8 awd. it needs lots of front end work(ball jts, front driveshft) which is not a big deal and was mildly hit in the pass rear corner/bumper. my question is, will a ranger body(same year) bolt on to the front clip and are the mounts in the same location? from what i have read the wheel base is the same on explorer 4dr and reg cab short bed rangers.
long term plans for it would be to build a mild dd offroader so eventually i would probably sas it and so on. would it be easier to find toy chassi and cab or other small truck and swap the v8 to it?
what transmission comes in the explorer? will a different transfer case bolt up to it insted of the awd case?
any help is appriciated
