OK bought an 87 standard Ranger. Runs great. I have a donor 84 Ranger (which I have been trying to sell) It has power brakes. Can I just swap the power booster/master cyl from one to the other? Or is there more to it?

There is a "bit"

Like for instance you'd really rather have a later booster and master cylinder.
Up to 94 it'll bolt right in.

BUT you'll need the brake pedal from your donor, because
the "pin" that is welded to the pedal is located differently
on manual brake Vs power brakes.

Thanks for the info. Still not sure if I want to make the swap or how much real good it would do.
