1998 Ford Ranger XLT DD with style
Decided to start a project thread for the 98. I'm in the process of collecting parts for a 01-03 edge front end. Only thing I need now is a 01+ bumper with fogs and I will be good to go on the front end.
Goal:
Lower it a little a on some 17's, stereo, tint and just drive it. Eventually repaint it, but probably not until late this year or spring of the next year.
Scored 2 mach 1 wheels with tires for 150 bucks off CL. Found two matching one's on ebay for cheap and got them. I will put a new set of tires on it when they come in.
powerdome hood I scored for 260 with tax from a junkyard. Only a couple chips in the paint.
I also scored the 01-03 header panel and edge grille for just shy of 100 shipped to the house new!
Took the topper off.

It has a 3.0/5spd combo, but that'll get me by till next year sometime I plan on the 302 swap. I may have a line on a carb'd 302 for dirt cheap.

Re: 1998 Ford Ranger XLT DD with style
I love the swap. Would that stuff work on a 1997 ranger?

I know some guys have swapped a 98+ front end on a 97 style, but I am not sure what all is involved.

Easy, have to get new fenders, Radiator support is the biggie. And the front mounts have to be widened about 1-1/2" on each side. The radiator will fit, but would be best to use a 98+, the tabs on the bottom are wider

Re: 1998 Ford Ranger XLT DD with style
Okay so I got all the 98 crap off and by god ford WTF were you thinking when you designed the headlight setup. Total PITA to remove. 04+ is stupid simple in comparison. Anyway I got the header panel in and I am only a few small pieces away from getting it all on. Just need the metal clips to hold the part under the head lights in and two screws plus the ford emblem and then finish installing and I am done. I am hoping ford will have everything I need to finish it up tomorrow.
