I got a 1994 ranger with a rusted spring hanger bracket. Can't seem to find the right part. I ordered one and when it came in it wasn't even close to the right one. The top mounting holes are a little over 8 1/2 in. between the center of the frame holes, the bottom ones are narrower.
Plus there were 2 rubber bushings that went in the spring hole, one on each end. I'm also assuming there is some kind of metal sleeve still in there too.
Has anyone ever seen this and where can I get some black rubber bushings and a bracket so I can get this back together soon.

Sounds like they ordered you a front spring hanger...

As far as the bushings go, you can buy single bushings through LMC and maybe through Ford, but I always just got a whole bushing set through Summit Racing. If two of the bushings are junk, the rest probably are too.

New bushing sets do not come with new bolts. I usually just got some Grade 8 bolts from the local hardware store instead of buying new bolts through Ford or LMC. My old boss once bought new bolts through Ford when he had to replace those mounts for his dump truck and the new bolts wouldn't fit! Had to return 'em an buy Grade 8's cuz that was all we could get that would work, go figure.

I've always got my replacement brackets through LMC Truck or through Ford, whoever was cheaper got my business.
 
stengal bros out of p.a. is where i orderd mine. was a much better deal than l.m.c. truck. i'll see if i can find a link for you. use a air chisel or torch to remove the old rivits. i used a torch on my ranger and a air chisel on dads F250. both methods work and both have drawbacks. here was my l.s. bracket;
