I have ran up on an '87 Ranger long bed 4WD, can I put an 89 -92 front on it, i.e. hood, fenders, gril, and bumper? I think the 89-92 look better and would like to change mine if I could. Anybody done this? I also thought about changing the dash to the newer style, but they may not happen. Thanks
 






I can't tell you for sure, but I bet the front clips are interchangable. No dimensions changed in the size of the truck from 88-89,the year the sheetmetal changed. I would guess at the most, you would have to re-drill some bolt holes. Also, the same years Explorer and BroncoII should fit, too. One last idea, call or e-mail Perry McNeil with this question. He makes fiberglass fenders and hoods for Rangers, Explorers, and BroncoII. He would probably know for sure.
