Well, unfortunately I was rear ended by some kid too busy on his cell phone while I was waiting to turn into my drive way. In my beloved 1992 single cab 2.9 4x4 ranger.
Keeping the truck vs letting insurance take the truck was only a 300$ difference so I kept it. I love this damn truck.
Now I would like to get it back together.
I will attach photos of the frame, tell me what you guys think.
Not sure if I should put new leaf springs on it and then get some axle to axle measurements and see how tweaked the frame really is but clearly it’s screwed.
Honestly thought about getting a donor truck and cutting the back half of the frame and welding the straight frame to my chassis. Obviously I would plate, gusset and ensure that it will be very strong.
This truck never let me down, I drive this truck to Tahoe 10 times a year to go snowboarding and it was my daily driver to work.
I already took the bed to scrap but I do have access to another nice bed , but also thinking about flat bedding it. Tell me what you guys think, I don’t wanna hear just junk the thing either.
