I'm new to this forum and have wanted to expand my knowledge when it came to the differences in the frame. I recently purchased a 1988 ford ranger xlt and it has a rotted body and i have wanted to go to a flatbed and a single cab for a while now... problem. I don't understand if i should cut the single cab frame and merry it to the existing decent ext frame? also, does anyone know how to get a manual transfercase to budge from 2H? ive tried pb blaster and i dont want to ruin the linkage since these trucks are becoming very slim to none in the northeast. Also, does anyone know if the wiring harnesses are different from 1988 and 1991? I think they are the same. being that the truck I'm using for the cab is a 1991 2wd 4 banger. Lastly, I am not in the mood of making an elongated bed for the truck or messing with wheelbases. I'm going to a solid axle and this is becoming a rock crawler, so it's going to have a flatbed.
