HOW HARD WOULD IT BE TO PUT A 92 RANGER BODY ON A F150 4X4 FRAME? HAS ANY OF YOU DONE THIS? IF SO WHERE CAN I FIND INFOMATRION?

First, you have to define "hard". Nothing is hard with the right tools, the right amount of patience and the right amount of time. Do the math, measure an F-150 frame and measure a Ranger frame. I don't know why you would want to do this but I've learned to not question others ideas. If you're looking for V8 power it would be much easier to convert a Ranger to a 302 with all of the parts out there to do so. The 150 still has the crappy twin I beam front crap suspension (my opinion that there is no comparison to a solid axle)

I believe it was OFF-ROAD magazine that had an article about this.

If I'm not mistaken you can find some information at autofab.com

That's the company that did the swap, and they actually have the kit for sale. You can probably get some pointers and you can feel free to ask them questions.

I'm in communication with them all the time. Most of the time not even being about anything they sell
