Reg. cab/longbed Vs. Extended cab/ short bed

[Blueovalboy89]

I need the wheelbase specs for an extended cab, short bed early model ranger. Or if anyone knows the variation between the frames on on a regular cab, longbed, Vs. an extended cab, short bed.

Earlier reg cab with 7ft bed was 114" wheelbase. Supercab was 125" WB with 6ft bed.

if your hoping you can swap bodies and beds between those two frames, it wont work without considerable modifications.

ranger frames "step up" between the cab and the box. so a standard cab frame has the "step" located closer to the front of the vehicle than an extended cab frame. the height difference will mess with your cab and bed mounts, making this far from bolt-on.
