06 Frame Repairs

[rangerkip1]

If anyone is in the area and needs cab parts or interior parts, I'll let you at it. Just toss me a few bucks. I'm in north central PA, near Mansfield. DM me for meetup.

I am keeping:

Axles
Engine
Transmission
Transfer case
Driveshaft
Wheels
Passenger door
Door strikers
Radiator
Condenser
Hood

The rest can freely be taken. The husk is going back to the original owner to be scrapped.

Never thought I would, but I found my old account, wooo. I'll continue with this account now.

This is the real reason southerners hate the north...

As a southerner... No, it definitely isn't, but it doesn't help. It does make for cheap part/donor vehicles though.

I got the bed and the u bolts off the parts truck, as well as the shocks and driveshaft. Unfortunately the 3.73 rear in the parts truck has the same rust damage as the 4.10, however it's only rusted down 1/32, vs the 5/32 on the 4.10.

Is it rusted away, or is that just where those axles neck down. The tubes aren't the same diameter the whole width, they get smaller inboard of the axle perches IIRC.

Do yourself a favor and oil that frame every couple years. Stay away from most of the paints. POR15 might be alright but anything else is a moisture trap. I've learned this the hard way long term. I now use Crown Oil on all of my Rangers and the new to me Jeep.

Gotta say though, with that wood floor and pieced together shed, I like yer style bud.
