    Can I make it work/fit in my Ranger?
    I am guessing it slides back to close the glovebox.

    It looks like any dock would work, just need the tray and the mods for it to fit into the dash.

    I would think you could fab that up fairly quick if you already had a 19 dock,might need to remove the glovebox itself but after that you just need a tray that slides out and a frame.

    What he said ^

    The dock has to rotate too.
    Notice the CF19 lid hinge is on the outside.

    Ok,it needs to come out and turn 90 degrees or so.Have the tray only move out and have a bearing kit from a lazy susan that they sell.

    Tray slides out and you rotate the entire dock separate of the tray,a simple rubber stop so it won't do a 360. Have a thru bolt from the dock to the tray so it stays put on the tray,the bolt pivots but the weight is supported by the bearing that is 6-8" in diameter and maybe 3/4" thick.
