Hello,
New to the ranger game. I bought this 1997 ford ranger xlt 4x4 with a 4.0 and auto trans off of my dad a couple months ago. My dad had it for a few years and bought it off my grandpa who bought it new. I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I am under the assumption that this axle is a dana 35 ttb, but I can not find a tag or stamp anywhere to tell me. Could anyone tell me if it is a dana 35 or a dana 28?? I know this might be a dumb question, but I would like to know so that I can start ordering parts to rebuild this truck and make stronger.
Ultimate goal is to lift it, rebuild or engine swap it (its got almost 300k miles) and make it a nice daily/ weekend trail warrior, re do the whole interior (it was a work truck for grandpa and dad and dad was a smoker when he owned it).
Thanks in advance for any help.
