I've read that s-10 swap would be the easiest In a couple places. I plan to use the original frame and the suspensions from the ranger should I choose to go that route are from 2001-11. I'm by no means experienced in rebuilds but I'm fairy good at collective learning and decent with working in stuff, i do have two guys that are going to help anytime I need it, one works in a body shop ( the one that has the ranger suspensions and suggested maybe using them) and the other is a welder.
