Hi all, former 1995 ranger owner here, put 100k happy miles on it.
So a good buddy got screwed 6 ways to Sunday on a 1998 ranger. Regular cab, long box 4x4. Truck came from the south, but the dealer failed to mention the frame is junk. Paper thin in spots, lots of non factory holes, patched behind the cab, but not straight...truck and box meet crooked.
Was hoping someone could tell us what years are useable for a donor frame. If someone knows of one in the Northeast, please le me know. Truck isn't really safe to drive at this point. He's in too deep now and I feel a frame swap is the best bet at this point.
