Hi everyone. The stuff I found on this site the first time was so impressive I had to join. You see I got a couple of ex park's dept rangers. One is a 93 and one is a 94. Both are identical 4.0 auto(a4ld) 4x4 except the 94 has manual locking hubs and the 93 has the pushbutton. I thought they were in pretty good shape. Little leaks and what not. The best part about them is the two 6'6" Boss V-blades. I plow alot of condo areas and small parking lots so you can see the value. Plus the price was extremely right. So now its time to clean them up. The 94 cleans up fine. Replace a brake line here tighten a trans line there. Boom all good. The 93 is whole different story and is the reason I have turned to the forum.
The 93 isn't sitting right. I see that I need 3 leaf spring brackets and shackles. Since I see the rr is brand new. TRS archive show how to replace and while I was at it put in explorer leafs since I carry about 500 lbs of sand and salt for traction. All good here. next
On the road test the 93 won't shift out of first. TRS informs me to check vacuum modulator. one hour of my time and $27 done.
The bench seat on the 93 is shot. This is where it gets interesting. The bolts come out of the floor no problem. I take out the seat see that its got old pillows stuffed in it for support. I decide to consult the TRS archive once more and I find a variety of available and easy to do seat and console swaps. Hooray, i can have nice cupholders. So I start cleanup. I pulled the rubber floor and its was all full of mud on the drivers side. When I started to clean it I realized the drivers side floor pan was swiss cheese. I can also see the body mount bushing 3/4 around. Now what do I do. This truck only has one real purpose. To plow plow plow.
Does anyone know what I can do to repair this?
I know this probably isn't the first one this happened to. Most of the floor pan is rotted almost to the rocker and as far up as the heel mark by the pedals.
I'm sorry for the lame intro. I just need this fixed. I know I probably should have waited for the full story but if anyone can point me in the right direction I would be thankful
