    Four years ago I bought a 1990 Ranger. Fees on it with a plate was $250. The truck only cost $1200!

    New plan......i have some frame rails coming from Nevada! Those poor things have no idea what they are in for coming to PA.

    Ok...it's not pretty but better than being caved in. I'm not a body man and it only took 15 minutes.

    Just waiting on the frame rails to show up....

    Did some measuring. The back end is actually square. Also checked level side to side and it matches up. I'm writing down all my specs on the back of the cab so I don't lose them.

    What are the preferred body mounts to use as replacements? I'm going to replace them while I'm into it.

    You cut the back of your truck off before you measured anything? That is hardcore.
