The entire engine crossmember needs to be removed and swapped with one from a 4x4 truck before you can bolt any 4x4 components underneath the truck.

after i change out the cross member will everything bolt up with no modifications?

yes 83-97 4WD ranger, 91-94 exploder 2wd/4wd(just need ds bracket for 4wd, cross members are the same), 83-90 bronco II 2wd/4wd same as exploder

awesome guys, now i just need to get 300 bucks and a trailer to float the old ford to my dog house then the fun begins

Actually you very specifically want a crossmember off of an '89-up.

The difference is the location of the holes for mounting the clips that
the fuel lines run through.
