It will work. 

Will it be easy? Probably not. 

 

What do you plan to do with this truck? Wheel it? Drive it around town? Workhorse? 

Which motor is in the Ranger? If it is the 2.8L, run away. 

 

TTB front axle? Run away

Not a 8.8 rear? run away.

 

Good luck :)

If it's a 92 it'll have either the Vulcan 3.0 or the cologne 4.0, which in my opinion either of them are fine engines but nothing special. Just do the measurements and see how far off the body mounts are. Is the ranger a 4x4 though? If not find a 4x4 and do as you said and drop the Datsun body on it. You can make anything work with the right fabrication.
