Ok, well THAT didn't take long, lol.

Tons of Fords with Chevy running gear. Extremely few Chevys with Ford running gear....and for me? That exactly the way it oughta be!

Re: 1998 Eddie Bauer Ford Explorer 5.0L V8

The local wrecking yard owners and tow truck drivers call those things "Exploders" for a reason.

Around here I have never seen one that is two wheel drive or even know if they made any two wheel drive ones. I don't think they ever sold one in this area but by gum they did make two wheel drive EB Explorers http://www.cars.com/ford/explorer/19...=USA80FOS103C0


The 111.5 inch wheelbase is 5.5 inches short though.

A 98 and up two wheel drive long bed standard cab ranger has a 117.5 inch wheel base that probably could be shortened 1.5 inches with moving the hole in the spring pads pretty easily and it has A arms rather than the twin I beams that the older trucks had. No one said a guy needed to use the Ford engine or trans either.
