Are the Ranger and Explorer D35 front ends pretty much the same? I've found a junk ranger with axle tag code 610365-3, which according to my homework is a D35 with 3.73's out of a ranger/BII.
While I was at the boneyard, I also found an explorer with the center-chunk removed from the TTB, and the shafts and spindles laying conveniently in the cab. I want to nab those as spares.
My question is, Dana lists the Ranger/BII D35s as a different part code than those out of explorers. Are the track widths the same? I've looked but can't find a definite answer. I'm going to grab those shafts and spindles so long as they are the same length. Oh, just for reference, the local scrap yard asked $100 for the entire TTB assembly, they will remove it. I thought that was pretty reasonable.
Thanks in advance.
