I just bought a 1989 Ford Ranger 2WD for $250. Runs perfect, but there is major frame rust (rust-out) at the front driver side rear spring mount. The mount that attaches to the frame is holding only at one side, and there is a big hole on the side of the frame right behind the mount---the rest of the truck is fine, and I want to take off the box and repair the frame and spring mount---any suggestions? Thanks again for your help. Fred

You have already asked this question on alt.autos.ford and received 5 replies, some of them were actually quite helpful. What's the problem, didn't like the answers? At least you got the year correct in the headers of your other post. I doubt there was a Ford Ranger in 1898.
Here in Indiana, about 20 miles northwest of Richmond, there is a town called Losantville on US 35 in Randolph county. Just south of the town, not even a city block on County Road 1100, there is a junkyard that is a favorite place that I enjoy going to. It's called The West Brother's. Rick and Roger West run it. They are the least expensive junkyard, that I am aware of, in indiana, Ohio, or Kentucky. I would suggest buying a chassis. That would be safer and save you a lot of money, than to try and patch up the frame that you have.
