I trying to plan a body swap on my Explorer Sport but I need some measurements. Can someone with a 98+ 4 door extended cab ranger measure from the center of the front wheel to the cab corner. And someone with a standard cab take the same measurement for me.
I've had my X for 10 years and it's been thru hell and back. Wrecked twice, bounced off trees, never been garaged in Midwest winters, the side drug down a ditch and drowned. The drivetrain is solid but the body is completely rusted out and trashed. So I'm trying to plan swapping a 03+ front clip, hood and extended cab onto my frame. If the extended cab us too long I'll have to settle for a standard cab. Either way I'm going to have a ranger cab with a flatbed on my Explorer frame.
I couldn't find any build treads of someone doing this with a 2nd gen. I know I've seen some older rangers on B2 frames.
Any info you guys have would be great.
