hello from MD

[terryknight]

Hello all - Came here to get some help and document a build (rebuild) of a Mazda I rolled. 97 B4000 that my father-in- law bought new. given to my wife. I brought it back from WI. then a few years later rolled it on some ice. Still runs and rives, but needs a cab. It's been sitting ever since. I just bought a cab from a 98 with the rear opening doors. I will start a new thread on the build shortly. - Terry

Good page to bookmark here: http://www.therangerstation.com/tech_library/index.shtml

Its the tech articles section, link at the top of each page

Rangers came in 3 generations
1983 to 1992 was Gen 1
1993 to 1997 was Gen 2
1998 to 2012 was Gen 3

Gen 2 and 3 were very similar but not exact match for all parts, you are mixing Generations with 1997/1998 so just a heads up if things don't match exactly

i will do some reading.

i know the front suspension was different and the jumps seats with the rear opening doors, the rest i will be figuring out. the mazda has the newer gen 3 dash in it.

can't seem to add attachments. any idea on what i maybe doing wrong? says i am missing a security token
