Default Front drivshaft Q?

Will the front drive shaft from a '92 Exploder fit my '97 Ranger? They both have the bolt in style flanges, and are both a double cardan style driveshaft. The biggest thing though, the exploder is an automatic while my ranger is a 5 speed. I just haven't had a chance to measure everything yet.

thanks.
