No help for you...
But we will wrap you in a blanket of Ranger love, and sing little ditties of Bronco 2 you until you feel better....

Maybe someone on the forum with a bit of artistic talent can make you a hanging mobile with pictures and drawings of little Rangers.
You could hang it above your bed and fall asleep dreaming about "Little Rangers"
Something like this with "Rangers"

Well then... having read it all... it's time to put some of that new found knowledge to good use.

What's broke on your truck that needs fixing?

Basically everything thanks to previous owner, so I'm currently not driving it for my own safety until i find time to work on it.

Is it time or money to buy parts the real hold up? I was young once... money was always the deciding factor for me. I had lots of time.

Tell me what makes it unsafe?

Most bushings are shot, it wanders when driving, and the amount of rust, and i don't have the money or time to work on it because of school, and i only have a summer job because I'm trying to pass so i can have a better chance at getting a better job.

I understand the struggle... but you're doing the right thing by toughing out school. The beautiful thing about education... once you have it... nobody can take it away.

Rust is a terrible thing... I've scrapped a couple of these truck because I didn't feel there was enough left to repair.

The frame on mine is surprisingly rust free, the cab is another story so it would be cheaper for me to get a rust free cab, so ill probably get a second truck either a ranger or f-150 from the 80s-90s to use as a daily.

If it's wandering when driving then I would check your tie rods. They are cheap and easy to replace. Probably be about $50-60 and an hours worth of work if your a decent shade tree mechanic. Bushings wouldn't cause too much wander unless they were REALLY SHOT.

well the steering box is the main problem and the pivot point on the beams are basically destroyed completely.

I hope you didn't pay too much for it.... Sounds expensive lol. Time for a SAS.
