1993/1995 frame question

[rich060685]

I was curious if anybody knows if the frames from a 1993 ranger xlt and a 1995 ranger xlt are the same? As I posted in my introduction post frame on mine snapped on both sides. I have the chance at a '95 frame if it will work with the '93 components ( cab,engine,bed etc...) Thx in advance for any input

yes it will work. all the way to '97 should work for anything on that truck.

As long as the body setup/wheelbase of the two trucks are the same you are good to go.

I want the story for how the hell you broke BOTH sides of your frame... lol

Thanks for the quick responses and as for how they broke I believe the driver side was already broke when i got it since it looks pretty beat up like it's been a while and the other day i was driving out of my property to get the daughter from the bus and it broke getting back to the house lol. I live in the woods and our driveway is nothing but ruts and rock n such So alot of ways to rattle and flex it lol

Given the area of PA that he lives in, I think the real question is how did he only break it in two places.

I just read this response from your intro.

Interesting about the frames. I've never heard of people having to replace frames due to wear & tear.

You could box up the frame more, right?

I could but this ones pretty weak. Ran a wire brush over it and all sorts of weak spots and holes showed through. Lookin for a parts vehicle to just get one with a stronger frame then ill go tat route with it.
