98+ rangers have a one-peice driveline that will fit the older rangers... i.e. go find a junkyard that has, by looks of your signature, a driveline from a 98+ ext. cab 2wd ranger and you'll be good. its really easy to put in, thats what i did with my ranger, helped out TONS!

just gotta look out for the flanges on either side of the driveline to make sure they will still bolt up to your flanges on your tranny and rearend... otherwise you'll have to get either new flanges for tranny/rearend or get custom u-joints for the driveline to fit the old flanges.

yeah no problem. i spent 125 getting my one-piece driveline in between the custom u-joint for the front and the driveline itself.

just a side note, i got an aluminum driveline, its MUCH bigger around than the steel, and i had to modify my gas tank skid plate for it to fit, so watch out for that too.
