Default Rad support help please !

Hello
I purchased a 98 Ranger 2WD ( 2.5 litre ) for my son. I noticed the RAD support is in very bad shape ( ROTTED OUT ) . I was wondering if anyone could share with me how to replace this and what is involved. Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks

Ric

I would patch it with galvy sheet metal. Cut out the bad bits and either pop rivet or screw your patches onto remaining metal. But I'm a complete hacker.

If you want to replace with new you need to take the fenders off, the header panel, headlights, and drill out about 30 spot welds.
