Some of the fancier ones basically run a big spindle and hub as the joint with the driveline running through the center. You could litterally have half your truck roll over and just keep on driving, so long as you have no plumbing or wiring going past the joint. They look cool as hell and can be made super functional, but they are very awkward to drive. Sometimes the rear of the truck acts like it doesn't want to follow the front, feels like a trailer trying to jack knife, only it never does.
That is the case for the one pictured, i just thought i'd share some of my experience driving and maintaining similar vehicles from a more modern era.
Noted, but I'm saying tryign to make one out of your modern Ranger might be a bit more daunting than back then...
