[frank long island]

1 want to convert my ranchero to disks and 5 lug i have a chanceto get a 97 explorer rear will this work with some fab work thanks

Haha, loaded question... ANYTHING will work with enough "fab work".

Anyway, best to measure flange to flange, pinion position, etc. yourself. I had way to many 'Bolt ins' that are anything but.

Just my 1¢ worth.

Are you putting disk brakes on the front also? Hope so...

 

[frank long island]

yes disks all around it will be the fastest stopping 6 cyl around

the one i found seems to have the same measurements as my stock rear 51 in backing plate to backing plate and 59 outside of drum to drum

Just check the spring pad distances you may have to relocate those and do a U-joint swap.
