Default Compatibility?

So, I'm looking for Rangers I can salvage parts off of for mine. I have a 1997 single cab 2.3 and I was wondering what years would be compatible to mine? I'm looking to replace my bed (perferably a step-side, but not nessecary) and my interior. Thanks!

Don't hold me to this but I think you can put up to a '01 bed on it but overall the ranger's bed hasn't changed much since your truck was made so you may be able to get one of even a newer model year possibly to '06 or '08. As for the interior, I looked up pictures online and it looks nearly identical to my 2003 and I believe 2004 is when they started changing around the dash and gauges but those parts may still interchange with your '97, they will just look different.

Default Re: Compatibility?

interior....dash/door panel parts can be up to 03. headliner, rear plastics, etc....up to 97. beds, up to 11, but 06(08?) they added a couple more bolts. front sheet metal, bolt on 93-7. 98-11 will work as well, but requires welding.
