Ranger Bed Compatibility between Gen. 3 and Gen4

[henryj10]

Hi guys,

Fixing up my used 1996 reg cab Ranger, made the mistake of buying a truck with alot of body damage on the Bed, thinking it would be an easy repair, fixed it up with slide hammer and some long strand fiberglass filler and called it good

Until I found a better bed in the junk yard. Its a 6ft styleside same option as my truck, from a 1998 Ford Ranger Ext. Cab with less damage than mine. I'm worried that the new one is different than my old one because of the age and because its from and Extended cab.
--Questions--
Will a 4th generation 98 to present Ranger Bed fit on a 3rd Gen. 93 - 96 Ranger? Will a Extended cab Ranger Bed fit on a regular cab Ranger?

Thanks Guys

I had a 6ft box from a 01 regular cab, put onto my 01 extended truck

As long as they're both the 6-ft bed, it'll work. The beds have not changed a single bit from 1993-2009.
