1992 4.0 Explorer Cluster into 1994 Ranger 2.3

[The Bandit]

I've got a perfect 4.0 explorer cluster with the tach. How would I go about swapping this into my '94 2.3 ranger with no tach?

are explorer clusters the same as ranger ones. i thought only sport trac ones swapped, but maybe they're just more desired for the white face gauges

That sucks.

What else will swap out of the explorer onto my '94 ranger? Windsheild, rear end, back bumper, etc.

I already sold the hood, grill, and headlight rings to a guy with a '91 Ranger, and sold the leather seats to another guy with a '91.

Yeah I know their different body styles. I seriously think the windsheild is the same as the 3rd gen Ranger, but I'm not sure enough to do the swap. Will any of the 4.0 engine accessorys swap over to my 2.3?

I'm thinking about putting the front bumper on my '86.5 Nissan to replace the bent, plastic capped, sheetmetal original.

I might look into that. My truck never gets over the lowest mark on the "normal" scale of the temp gauge right now. But I think the fan clutch might be sticking.

My windsheild is cracked all to hell, so hopefully the glass will work. I know that sometimes automakers do weird shit with rooflines though.

Will the mirrors interchange with a Ford Ranger? They look very similair to the 3rd gens, but I'm not certain about it either.

Alright.

Is there any skid plates or other miscellanious parts on these things that are aluminum?
