Hay wild man, I like the name ya gave my comanche .My nephew workes at the jeep dealer on transit .He calles it the JORD. either way this is way cool how the jeep keeps making friends. I have ben driving them for over 32 years . have 2 cherokee's my wife & son I also have a 1950 willys wagon two wheel drive. got it 8 years ago and still havent finished it yet. but when its done . I sure hope it gets the raves Like my pick up !!!!!! AS you were saying I forgot to mention how I saved my cab corners when I did the bed swap . SO here goes guys and girls. before I scraped the origianal bed . I cut from the top of each tail light back about 12 inches using the top rail of the pass side on the drivers cab corner and the oposite one for the passengers side they are so close with a little metal work and you can fab your own cab corners. Also I had to drop the helper springs and one leaf from each side to make her ride better. bob kane

Hay wild man .I am very happy to join the comancheclub. I never thought about talking pictures when I did the swap on my comanche. however, it only took me two weeks after work and on weekends. driving it in primer.I know that the bed came of TWO rangers one crashed on drivers side, the other on the passengers side..the junk yard gave me two the for $250. maybe we could get together and take the sides off they are only bolted to the bed 10 on each side take some serious photos . and I can explain the small cutting need to be done on the ranger bed. there are a few issues that need attention. the filler tube needs to be retro fitted parts at any hdwe store. also the front bed straps on the comanche must be retained for the fuel tank . I never dropped the tank . just use a spot weld cutter to brake free from the old bed. I hope this helps every one who is (like me wanting to save my comanche) I Also I looked into making an s-10 bed work ,their was too much for me to make it happen the ranger made it fun to do and prove my brother wrong. Just one more thing the rear wheels are not exactly in the center of the opening. and the front of the bed was shaved to match the bottoms of the rocker panels. AND YES I LOVE MY COMANCHE your new friend bob kane
