Wrecked on driver side. Bent the frame. Other than that nothing. Leather interior was mint. I sold the front and rear seats and head liner for 500.

I believe that I now have all the major pieces and then some for my project.
2000 Ranger 4x4 4.0 auto (complete non running truck) $300
1999 Explorer AWD V8 (complete truck bad trans) $000
2 complete 4x4 F150’s 1981 & 1998 (Tcases, shifter and drive shafts as needed) a couple old daily drivers
2 full size Tcases (BW1356) $100
2 Small block 5 Speed transmission’s (low mileage ZF $400 & M5OD $100)
And this morning I picked up a Explorer rear axle with disc brakes & LS4:10 $100
That puts me at $1000, and I can recoop some cash selling off/scraping un-needed parts/trucks [emoji106][emoji4][emoji106]

Sounds like you do have most of it. I am guessing you are gonna run a 5spd.
The M5OD and the ZF5 are set up a little different as far as gear ratios go. The M5OD is a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, OD whereas the ZF is a Low, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, OD.

It’s not the length so much, it’s just BIGER around. Another member put one in a older truck and said he used a body lift for extra room.
I will post pics & measurements as soon as I get them dug out of the back of the F150.[emoji106]
