Another one to look at is in the blue oval arena. The 1st gen Sport Trac is 125.9 wheel base, which is about perfect for a 3600 truck. I believe the Ranger ext. Cab is the same. The second gen Sport Trac is 130" wheel base. A little long, but some frame shortening would be required. The bonus with it is the IRS rear suspension. You could commit bow-tie heresy and put a blue small block between the frame rails also.
