I can;t say for certain so don;t quote me but I think they're in the same series.
Why didn't you ask the guy what he wanted for the truck? Parts goes up when they think you'll buy it piece by piece
Scrap isn't hard to get rid of, they'll even pay you for it ;)

3.0l Vulcan will work fine from any year and to any year 1991-2008 Rangers, just have to swap intakes to match fuel system, EGR and sensor wiring

4WD trans will not work in a 2WD vehicle, in any year and visa versa
