Hey I got a beat up looking 1985 4x4 longbed diesel ranger and was wondering if the '89 and newer front fenders, hood, grill and bed are compatible and if so has anyone done this and is it fairly easy. I just wonder if the diesel radiator support would have to be modified any. I've updated an 87 f150 to a 92 so I'm sure I could handle it if it's that simple.

to tell u the truth you would have to look at the demensions of all the things that are on the ranger now and compare them to the new stuff you want to put on. the hood you would have to make sure that the latch matched up and everything. i am not too familiar with that kind of thing so let us know. good luck. i would not mess with the radiator. had buddy that tried that and all it did was cause problems.
