Remove 6 bolts holding the bed down from the top with a Torx Bit. Seperate the connector to the tail lights near rear bumper, Remove 3 screws holding gas filler Hose to bed. Get 2 people to help you lift the box off and set it on the ground or ? Wear gloves as the bottom edge is sharp.
If the bolts break off, chances are you will need to replace them and the extruded nut that they fasten to. I had to drill the head off of one of the bolts when I removed the bed from my '89 Ranger. The bolts are 15 bucks a piece from Ford and the extruded nuts are 10 bucks a piece. I couldn't find the nuts anywhere else, but I used hardware store bolts for $1.30 a piece and replaced all 6 as the threads on the original bolts were badly rusted.
On a 97 Ford Ranger, Do everything they say, except you also have to remove the two mud flap brackets. You dont have to remove the tailights Just disconnect the connector at the rear of the bed on the left of the licence plate,near the bumper
Yes. The Ford Ranger bed has gone unchanged since 1993. Any bed since 93 will fit. www.FordRanger.net
THE 1993 Ranger is 53" x 73," but this may vary.
Yes. All beds are made the same since 1993. www.FordRanger.net
Exterior panels: 93-97 Bed: 93+ Interior Panels: 95+ www.FordRanger.net
There should be about 8 bolts under the bed and the wiring harness
The fuel pump on a '93 ford ranger is located inside the fuel tank. It is eaisest to remove the bed of the truck to access the fuel pump. Access is on the top of the tank behind the cab of the truck. I prefer this to dropping the tank.
IN THE FUEL TANK. YOU HAVE TO REMOVE OR SLIDE THE CARGO BED BACK TO GET IT OUT.
It may be more difficult to remove the bed than to drop the tank.
Yes it will as long as it is not a long bed and it is a under the rail liner. over rail will fit but badly. rails in 1993 were changed to be wider and tapered.
They came in both short and long bed variations, so that would have to match, first and foremost. Assuming you're talking about the North American model, 1993 - 1997 was the second generation of Ford Ranger, so, provided you've match a short bed to a short bed or a long bed to a long bed, any Ford Ranger or Mazda B Series from those model years should be compatible.
All tonneau covers are custom designed for each bed. All tonneau covers for the 1996 Ford Ranger flareside will only fit Ford Ranger flaresides from 1993-1997. Whether ARE makes a model like that, I do not know.
REMOVE THE BED OF THE TRUCK. YOU CAN GET TO THE BOLTS TO REMOVE THE TANK. 6 BOLTS AND UNPLUG THE WIREING HARNES.
