I couldn't even find a 4x4 Ranger back when I was searching for one.

Also, Fordzilla, did you also use the same trans from the vehicle that had the shifters? The trans case manual lever bolts to the side of the transmission itself, and sources tell me these M50Ds that have the threaded hole for the manual shift lever were only paired with manual transfer case Rangers.

Correct. 1998-2000 4x4 M5OD's have the thread bosses, but they don't have the output shaft speed sensor hole that my truck needs. The 2001+ M5OD 4x4's have the OSS hole, but no thread bosses.
Furthermore, If I had a 4.0, I could just source a Level II M5OD and swap it in. But I have to source a 2001+ 3.0 M5OD 4x4, and then either make an adapter for the shift linkage, or find an extension housing from a Level II truck and swap it on.
