No difference in the rear frames 1983 to 2011, 1993 and up bodies were 2" wider, but same frame
All have 6' beds, only Long bed Ranger had 7', and its axle was 6" farther back so it did have a different rear frame

1 gen 2 (white) no bed.2-Gen 3, the silver is a 97, the blue is a 94. same bed, very basic. Just plywood & 2x4’s.
all three trucks are longbeds (7ft)

yea i knew the frames were different on a long bed and short bed my 87 will be even harder to do a flat bet because of my rear tank tho i already have the deck part of the flatbed but i need to build the headache rack and the rear hitch/tail light plate

Not sure what generation a 2001 would be but if it helps, here's mine.

that is exactly what i was thinking to build mine like

Mine has had a flatbed on it for many years, this was rev 1:

Rev 2 involved shortening the taillight portion and adding "fenders" for tire clearance

i like the rifle rack on the back of the cab. lets people know not to mess with the truck because they can get shot

Ha! That was only on there for a short period of time...thought it would be nice for shovels and stuff, the self tapping screws I used ripped out almost immediately. A good idea that didn't work out as planned.
