A little help

[just truckn]

hello everyone in rangerland I need a little help im restoring my 90 ranger reg cab 4x4 i already have my frame and suspension done i removed my cab and fixed and repaired the rust but I also have to replace my rad support but I found out that my truck was damaged from previous owners and someone replaced the rad support once already but as I was working on it I found that who ever did the work really fd it up cause its not even fully welded in plus when I measured across from corner to corner its out an inchoose I got to square it up but I need to know if anyone else out there has there truck apart in the front i want to know what the measurements are for the rad support i don't trust what they r now after seeing the butchery they done plus I noticed that my rad support is tilted back i don't know if thats the way they r supposed to be so if anyone can give me some measurements it will b greatly appreciated thanks

Sure the support is out of square or is the frame tweaked?

 

[just truckn]

Yes I'm sure the support is out I have the cab off the frame already squaring it is not the issue I need to know what the correct or at least close enough Measurements are from the firewall forward since it was butchered up i don't know if its right plus I need to know if the rad support is supposed to be tilted back cause mine is

Maybe someone has a copy of a builders guide in your year range that can help you. I have a spec sheet for the 2011 but there might be enough differences that it won't help you. Maybe @RonD, @adsm08, or @19Walt93 has access to the information you need.

Sandman I'm hoping someone has something I've been searching online for measurements but can't find anything for my truck I'm still trying to find out if the dad support is supposed to lean back I have too much money and time in this truck and I only want to do this rad support one time so hopefully someone can help

just measure one side from the middle out, then flip it around and double it up or whatever....straight edge and like 2 beers helps...maybe an angle cube.

 

[19Walt93]

Check with a body shop, they have all kinds of measurements that they use to square things up.

 

[adsm08]

I don't have a builders guide or body manual for anything in that year range. Used to, sold a lot of books I didn't need a few years back.

The core support should be pretty straight up and down.

I don't know if this will help you. It's the best picture I have of the rad support on my 1990. At the very least it will give you a reference point for the passenger side, you can see where it is in relation to the one fender bolt, as well as there's a stamp on the fender that you can see.

Hey everyone I like to thank u guys for the input adsm08 thanks for ur info in trying to find out if the support is straight up and down cause mine is tilted in Walt 93 I did check with some shops but they don't go back that far rangerinsk thanks for the pic but its not showing me the measurements but greatly appreciated I was hoping to c if anyone else had their truck stripped down in the front so they could measure but I guess I only have a couple choices try to find a ranger in a junkyard which is hard around me cause the yards just crush them now instead of saving them or I just go back to what it was at and keep messing with it
