Just a heads up
LMC truck is a good place to get parts but also a good place to check what year parts are compatible
https://www.lmctruck.com/
Use "Vehicle selector" and enter in your year and Ford, and Ranger and chassis(2wd or 4x4)
Then select
Chose what parts you are looking for and it will give you price and years it will fit
1998-2003 on body parts, but looks like grills are 1998-2000 and 2001-2003 so a bit different

Yes, 1993 to 2011 6ft beds are interchangeable, not 7ft, need a different rear frame for that one
Yes, up to about 2006 there were just the 6 bolts, then two more were added but................the same spacing for original 6 holes, so doesn't really matter, lol
There were two models of 6ft beds
Style side, wheel wells in the bed
Flare side(step side), wheel wells outside the bed
These are interchangeable as well, but.................you need a different filler tube, and different tail gate and bumper for the narrower Flare side
You want to keep your tail lights and wiring, they will fit into any bed above
Ford changed from 3 wire to 2 wire tail light wiring in 2000
1993-1999 used 3-wire, 2000-2011 used 2-wire
So you can use a 1997 bed on a 2003 truck but 1997 tail lights will not be plug and play to 2003 harness, and visa versa
