I saw a 2000 long bed for $2500. You dont see those often. My friend had one years ago. I'm very tempted to grab it up for a future project. Any one here have a long bed ranger? I was also curious if mazda offered the b3000 in a long bed?

Here's why I'm interested in the long bed. Since I owned my first ranger, (black 87 4cyl, 4spd, std cab) I always wanted one with a V8. I now have the truck and resources to fulfill this dream. I'm saving up for it now and will be ready this coming spring. In the mean time, while researching my dream I've come to some conflicts of desire. Watching the project rolling thunder swap a 4.6L DOHC in a 02 mazda made me REALLY want the 4.6L snake engine. My current ranger is a 2007 4door 4x4 4.0L V6 Sport auto. For this truck I think the 5.0 explorer swap is the better choice because I want to go 4wheeling in style A/C and all. I think the rwd std cab long bed would make a cool 4.6L DOHC street truck and because it's only 2 wheel drive itd make a better recipient.

Are the long beds super hard to find? Should I jump all over this truck?
