Explorer body swap

[Banjoes]

What if I came across a good used ford ranger for a great price with same/or similar transmission/engine setup(possibly four wheel drive) and just put my 2wd explorer body on top of it, what would I have to do, is there any modifications I would have to make?

I know that they share the same frame, but how hard would it be?

I could junk the old frame,engine/transmission, or sell it for parts.

The frames are not the same, none of the body mounts will line up. The front end is very close, but the rear is a completely different width. The wheelbase is also different.
