99 Explorer panels into 99 Ranger

[EmmaEatUraz]

Im working on a project and currently need to find a radiator support, Headlight assembly, 1 Fender, and a bumper for my 99 ranger. I Was wondering it is possible to take these parts from an explorer of the same year, since i already have the explorer that i used for parts.

If no one can answer your question here's a new thought. Go to a u pull yard. Pull the parts in question, Then try to put them into a ranger.

Everything is different between the two. People have put Explorer parts onto Rangers, but it requires cutting/welding the front of the Explorer fenders onto the Ranger fenders, and then finding a way to safely mount the Explorer hood onto the Ranger (different hinge designs).

Does anyone know if the 2008 ranger rad support will swap onto a 2nd gen explorer? With some cutting and welding but are mounts the same?
