Will a driveshaft from a 1995 explorer fit a 1999 ranger with the 7.5?

Another question: are the driveshafts for 7.5 and 8.8 axles identical, if both are for extended cabs? Help appreciated

no - wheel base is different



length should be the same, only difference may be u-joints or flange sizes.
Thanks alot, anyone else know about the u-joints or flange sizes as kunar said?

As long as both are from the same or a similar year truck, they should be the same.
