Looks like you either have to salvage it or make one yourself...

I think you might be right. I see the full size parts are similar. I might buy a set and modify them.

I have a frame sitting in the driveway that may still have good mounts on it. I'll check this evening.

I made an assumption that the Gen 2 Rangers had the same rivet on style mount, but its actually same as the Gen 3 and welds on unlike a Gen 1. Also....both were pretty thin anyway.

I only see the full size truck pieces when I search. I bet they are about the same other than having 3 mounting holes instead of 4.
