1985 Bii onto a 1990 frame

[flyboy]

Greetings.
How difficult would it be to transplant an older (1985) Bii onto a 1990 frame?
The body mount kits show different for 1985-1988 & 1989-1990.
I found a late '90 built frame with the D35 axles.
It has no body or engine, but mine are good
Thanx

Why not a ranger cab onto the b2 frame? That's what a lot of people do then make a flatbed. I've even seen 98+ cabs on b2s

Seems like a lot of work for just the D35 front axle...

I don't mind work.
I asked if it is a match!
Thanx

What im saying is its easier to swap the D35 into your frame than it is to swap everything else.... the rear axle is the same...

I would think it'll bolt on but unless your '85 frame is bad why? Your '85 front bumper won't bolt to the '90 frame. The '90 will have a single high pressure fuel pump in the tank for EFI, vs the carb'd '85. If you want stronger axles for your BII just go find a junk 1st gen Explorer.
