Sorry for all the posts it was the only way to put them up. Tell me what you guys think..I already bought the shocks and rear shackle kits for both sides.. And i didn notice until i realy got up and hamered on it

ummm that hole scares the crap outta me.......

thats pretty bad. fixable if you really want to fix it. but imho i'd spend the money on another good ranger with a good frame.
body looks decent on it. maybe a frame swap for a nice long spring/summer project

 

[tyler93]

Well i got the truck for free and can have it fixed and welded up reall nice for probabaly 300 bucks the rest of the frame is awsome just that part around the shackles

 

[tyler93]

I could get it welded and and have shackles put on and then undercoat the rest of the frame.. The motor doesnt even tick nothing very strone runner everything is mint but that part of it..

Holy crap(no pun)What part of the north do you live in?

 

[tyler93]

I didnt think it was that bad.. Is it fixable.. With welding?

Im in Boston, Massachusetts truck sat in a driveway for years with a bed full of wet leaves thats what did it in..

 

[metalmacguyver]

Yes its very fixable. I would give you a hand with it if you could get down to Plymouth with your truck.......
