core support replacement?? how hard

[91rangerstx]

Ok I just bought a 97 4x4 lifted thought I got a good deal on it still kinda think I did got it for 750 needs front fender and a clutch is what I thought. But after getting it home and pulling off the junk brush guard that came with it. I found out its missing the drivers side body mount and that side of the core support is rusted and basically gone. So what im wondering is how hard is it to replace it with a new one? Also what has to be changed to do the 98 and up front clip? I might just do that since I need a core support and fenders which will be fiberglass prerunners anyways.

I replaced the inner fenders and rad support on my '91 race truck after rolling it. It wasn't too bad. I think there was 27 spot welds to drill out on each side to get the front clip off the cab firewall. I used screws to put it back together. If you're changing front end years I think that would be the easiest option.
