I've been looking for a replacement for my rusty 01 Ranger. So far, any I've seen here in New England has the same rust as mine, even if it hasn't yet bloomed like mine. There is a stepside that the claims to have reinforced the frame and patched the rust. I haven't seen it but he's asking $9500 for it. Mine has les miles than most (125k) and although it will need a new thermostat housing, it runs and drives good. Best part is, it's mine, a known quantity, and its paid for long ago.
I'm starting to think it might be worth it to just fix the rust on mine. One rear cab corner, the rear corner of one fender, and bubbling paint from behind the flares on the bed. Anyone out there take on a rustoration project like this, and was it worth it?
