Default Economical 4-5 Lug Swap..?..

Did a search and really didn't get the exact info I was looking for so here goes....

Could someone (who's actually done one or knows for sure) post a list of what I could pull from a wrecking yard full of Fords to swap my '90 over to 5 lug?

If at all possible could you list the part/donor car/year of the donor?

It would be nice for us NOOOOBS to search and find a list to take "shopping."

Thanks,
Ivan

Entire Spindle assembly 94-95 (V8 or V6 mustang?)
Axles from a ?? year Ranger

Thanks,
Ivan

Okay I read that you could only use one side for the axels from the ranger? Im not sure if its driver or passenger? I have a real good article on this at work if someone PM's me on Tuesday I will send them the link.

yeah the axels in a ranger are different lengths so you have to use 2 from the same side.
also not sure from which side though
